Thank you very much, Ms. Turpel-Lafond, and Ms. Flanagan, for your great presentations today.
I'll be splitting my time with my colleague, Anne-Marie Day, but first I have a couple of questions. I'll start with Ms. Turpel-Lafond.
My question is with respect to some of the work you're involved with, touching on the testimony that previous witnesses have shared with this committee around the reality many aboriginal girls face when it comes to being in care. Is there the need for the federal government to step up its funding when it comes to family services, particularly on reserve and for those who work with on-reserve youth?
You would know this in the case of British Columbia, and of course, as we know, it's intricately related to the kinds of opportunities girls have later on in life. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
