Mr. Speaker, I think the numbers he’s referring to have to do with children who are in southern facilities for all kinds of reasons, not just for foster care.
I’d be happy to offer the Member and provide to the Member a breakdown on all children we have in southern institutions. They could be there for health care issues or treatment or foster care purposes.
As well, I’d be happy to provide the Member with detailed information on what measures are taken within the policy of the department to enhance the chance to keep the children in the families.
