2. We call upon the federal government, in collaboration with the provinces and territories, to prepare and publish annual reports on the number of Aboriginal children (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) who are in care, compared with non-Aboriginal children, as well as the reasons for apprehension, the total spending on preventive and care services by child-welfare agencies, and the effectiveness of various interventions.
The government, at every level, needs to publish an annual report which identifies the amount of Aboriginal children in care, versus non-aboriginal children in care. The reason for care, in addition to the amount of funds given to preventative care, must also be identified.
