Response focuses primarily on funding: $635M Budget 2016 investment over 5 years to address funding gaps in First Nations Child and Family Services and provide greater support for culturally appropriate prevention services and front-line service delivery. Budget 2018 provided a $1.4B investment over six years for the First Nations Child and Family Services Program for on-reserve families and children to address funding issues and increase prevention programs. To support the safety and well-being of First Nations children and families living on reserve, other commitments include:

• Implementing the full orders of the Candian Human Rights Tribunal
• Reimburse funding to Family and Child Service agencies based on actual costs for prevention, intake and investigation, legal fees, building repairs and and small agencies in the best interest of the child
• Reforming First Nations Child and Family services program
