When women come to the urban centres, they don't always have access to the services provided on reserve. So they end up having to pay for their own child care, which oftentimes runs anywhere from $800 a month.... Poverty is certainly a huge issue and I think that needs to be addressed, as well as looking at more services, like the preschool programs, for women living off reserve.
