Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Well, we are trying to find efficiencies by looking at where the healing foundation projects were offered and where we didn't have a presence--

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Absolutely not. I think the efficiencies are in the way that you describe all these costs. What we're going to try to do is cut down on travel costs by looking at the Aboriginal Healing Foundation projects and saying, “This makes sense for us to actually enter into a contribution

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I don't have the exact client data with me. I have more financial data with me, so I could tell you how some of the money has been spent according to those--

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, absolutely.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  There was $37 million spent in 2009-10. The $33 million is for 2010-11. When you add that to the $14 million or so that we already have, you get about $47 million that is available. If you take the difference between the $37 million and the $47 million, we have about $10 million

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Okay. The $37 million was spent last fiscal year, 2009-10. The $66 million we got over two years is for this fiscal year that we're in right now, split between two years. So $33 million and $33 million--

In follow-up to my colleague's presentation, I will describe Health Canada's Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Suppor

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  In terms of answering the targets question, setting targets is something we've had some experience in doing in working with first nations, Inuit, and Métis leaders. A number of years back we did set some targets around suicide prevention, diabetes, and some child-based targets, s

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Absolutely. We are working right now with the Province of Manitoba and the Province of British Columbia, the first two provinces to say to us that they wanted to adopt Jordan's principle. The federal government has adopted Jordan's principle. We are working closely with Indian

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think it's safe to say that at this point we're focusing our attention on multiple-disability children who have multiple service providers.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes. I think our view is that we need to walk before we run, and we want to get our dispute resolution mechanism sorted out with straightforward cases in which everyone agrees that a multiple-disability child with multiple service providers should not be left without services bec

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Well, we worked at the table, we four representatives, in the first nations community, and in fact there were discussions with the first nations band councillor about what we were doing. We were going through all the cases, and they were at the table.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  And that's the process we're in right now. We're working with them. There have been no decisions made about those children. We've continued to fund the services until we can work through a process to come to the decisions, and the community is involved in that.
