But we have seen that, in a number of provinces, social services and police forces—but social services in particular—are following the same patterns as residential schools. They are taking the children away from their families and bringing them outside for very long periods of time. The parents no longer have access to their children and the children no longer have access to their families or their extended families.
I am afraid the same thing is going to happen. If the children are not with their families, they will no longer be taught their traditions and values. In 20 years, we will again have thousands more children who will not have learned the traditions and values of their culture. They will be just as lost and will have a hard time too.
