OTTAWA — The federal and provincial governments have underfunded Indigenous children and young adults in CFS care by $104 million a year, research obtained by the Free Press shows.
For these 8,115 First Nations wards, the 26 per cent shortfall amounts to an average $12,814.42 gap between what governments provide and what agencies say they need to do their jobs properly. They also want another $45 million to reduce the number of children entering the system.
