welfare services that the provinces provided off -reserve, resulting in
countless First Nations children placed unnecessarily in foster care.
Children have been denied benefits based on their race and
ethnic origin, perpetuating the disadvantage already suff ered due to
the residential school system.
Federal funding for child welfare is between 22 and 38.5 per cent
less than what has typically been provided at the provincial level.
