This morning, The Current looks at child welfare for aboriginal
children in Canada. About 1 in 200 non-aboriginal kids is under state
care…that's compared to 1 in 10 aboriginal youngsters. Yet there are
fewer government dollars going into welfare services for First Nations
children than for other kids in this country. On today's show, guest
host Susan Ormiston asks why there's a discrepancy in funding…and
discovers that the situation is leaving many communities across the
nation frustrated. That's on The Current with guest host Susan
Ormiston, today at 8:30 a.m. (9 NT) on CBC Radio One.
