Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It's a 128-bed licence. The province will provide a per bed per capita subsidy of $17.55 per day. It could go up to as high as $18. That would generate about $12 million from the Government of Ontario. The long-term care facility will cost $28.2 million to build, so we're looking

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  The problem with Indian Affairs is how they define housing. To me, a house is a roof over your head, a place where you eat and sleep. Whether it's a long-term care facility or a bungalow or an apartment, it's still a shelter. The long-term care part is the services provided: nurs

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  On the issue of the 78,000 licensed long-term care beds in Ontario, 50% of them have to be redeveloped, or they will lose their licence. If they lose their licence, it's going to make the shortage of beds all the more chronic. In addition to that, 50% of those beds are for basic

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I don't understand your question, Mike.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I handed out some information. On the back page, you'll see a report that's addressed to the regional chief, Isadore Day. It's on Canada's letterhead. In the Ontario region, there's a unique situation regarding capital. If you turn to the third page, you will see that Ontario ha

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'd like to turn you to another page that I handed out. There's a letter there from our nurse, Gloria George, and she estimates that 37 members.... They have currently 60 members who receive home and community care, so that would represent about 60 households. There are more than

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  That's just for housing, but of those, probably a lot of those would need long-term care.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you, Graham, for that presentation. The fact that frailty occurs at a much younger age group in first nations populations compared to the general population points to the need for intensive supports such as home care, assisted living, and long-term care earlier and more of

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Sekoh sewakwekon. Good afternoon, everybody. Bonjour. Thank you to the chair, vice-chairs, and members of the committee for the invitation to present the work of the tripartite working group on first nations long-term care in Ontario.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I have one very important point that I'd like the committee members to hear.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, to all members, if they could just hear this one point. When the utility companies went to Indian affairs, and asked for permission to put the utilities on our claim area or through the reserve, oftentimes Indian affairs gave it to them for $1, or $10, or something like tha

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Look at all these instruments and how cheaply those companies were allowed to use our land, and to make millions of dollars while our people didn't even get a penny.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  As I've stated, in regard to the termination of title, the crown is in breach of its own treaty obligations under Treaty No. 3 1/2 when they expect that the only way to resolve it is the termination of rights under title. The crown has an ongoing and continued obligation to respe

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  You mentioned passing specific legislation. I think that's only going to delay justice. I think what is required is simply for the cabinet to give direction to the minister of Indian affairs to clarify this policy. I reference Canada's specific claims policy and I think there was
