THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldOTTAWA -- Some Indigenous communities could soon take over authority for their child-welfare systems under a federal law that took effect this week. But it could be years before others are prepared to take on the responsibility under what federal Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller calls a "complex" piece of legislation.
The goal is to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous children currently under care and in generations to come. Until Indigenous communities pass their own child-services laws, Miller said services currently provided to Indigenous children will continue as before. The Assembly of First Nations has estimated the total cost of transitioning from federal and provincial care to community-based systems could reach $3.5 billion.
