Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. In B.C. we also don't have good information on the impact of preventive services. I think one of the matters we called for was a better understanding on the ministry's part as to what outcomes actually occur and the cause of those particular outcomes. On the provincial level we have preventive services, but in B.C. on reserve those preventive services are not yet being funded.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  The only thing, as was alluded to earlier, is that the number of aboriginal children in care in B.C. has increased as a percentage. I'm not aware as to whether the numbers have dropped. I think one of the things we have asked the ministry to do is get a better understanding of what outcomes occur as a result of children being in care, and what services in particular are responsible for those particular outcomes.
