Children Aid Agency Study Revealed

Ontario's minister of Aboriginal Affairs says the province is going to set up a commission to look at child care system.

Brad Duguid, who met with Treaty Three chiefs during a visit to Kenora on the weekend, says they want to sure children are being properly looked after.

"There is a need for significant change overall in the approach being taken," says Duguid. "The current status quo hasn't not served children well, first nation communities well or the province well."

A number of children's aid agencies in the region have reported significant deficits, but Duguid says the province has doubled funding over the past six years, with no significant increase in caseload.
