Thank you.
I would like to thank all of the witnesses who are here with us today. Your testimony was very valuable.
One of the major concerns that I have with this legislation is that it is framework legislation. Multiple witnesses have told us that principles within the legislation around funding are missing.
We see it in the preamble, and there have been recommendations that it be moved from the preamble into the legislation. We have also had recommendations from multiple witnesses that the principles from the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal about about equitable funding and looking at the realities as needs-based, as many of you have mentioned today, should be in the legislation so that we can hold to account whatever government is in power to make sure that indigenous children across this country are getting the resources they need to be cared for in the way they should be cared for.
I would like to start in Saskatchewan, since you're on the screen in front of us. Could you speak to any concerns you have about funding and whether you agree that the principles of funding should be right in the legislation?
Tischa.
