Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has touched on an issue I would like to raise and that is the amount of money the department gives foster parents. This affects the ability of the department to attract aboriginal foster parents. What the department gives foster parents is not sufficient to meet the financial requirements of raising a child. In small communities, there are many parents that would make good foster parents. Unfortunately, they cannot afford to be foster parents. Can the Minister tell the House if the department has any plans to examine the rates paid to foster parents?
