In terms of the EPFA, there are numerous ways in which you can look at progress. One would be in the fact that we have rolled out to six jurisdictions, starting with Alberta, so that we now are covering about 69% of first nations children under that model. It's our expectation that we'll continue to work with the additional jurisdictions and have all jurisdictions under the enhanced prevention framework approach by 2013. That's one area of, I would say, results.
We have been looking most recently at Alberta. We've done an evaluation. It's not complete, but the results there are showing that we have had success in reducing children in care. We have invested $91.8 million over five years in Alberta. Overall, there are now more culturally appropriate placements, more permanency supports for children, and increased use by families of prevention programming, as well as increased use of less costly placements.
In 2007-08, for instance, in Alberta there were 329 in institutional care; in 2009-10 there were 68. There has been a substantial reduction demonstrated by an increased use of more cultural and fewer institutional placements of children unable to be in care by their families.
In terms of kinship care, we had no one in that kind of arrangement in 2007-08; in 2009-10 we had 375. There has been a dramatic increase, demonstrating that there's a support for that type of culturally appropriate placement within the Alberta context. In terms of post-adoptive subsidies, we've gone from none in 2007-08 to 130 in 2009-10.
We're seeing results in Saskatchewan as well, where we have invested since 2008. We have kinship care results of 407 in 2007-08 and 492 in 2009-10.
