| Summary: | were two that called for the expansion of authority for First Nations Child and Family Service (CFS) agencies to enable them to provide child welfare services off-reserve and the establishment of a province-wide mandated Métis Child Welfare agency. No action was taken on these recommendations until the election of the NDP government in 1999; shortly after this, a process was initiated to act on these recommendations. This article outlines the policy context leading to the initiative, summarizes the policy development process, including key elements of the new policy, and identifies a number of issues that may affect both policy implementation and service delivery.1 |
