Base funding for federal support of First Nations Child and Family Services is based on a formula set in 1989. In 2007, after years of recommendations, the Enhanced Prevention Focused Approach (EPFA) began to be rolled out region by region. This funding would help prevent children from entering care in the first place. After years of promises, the Federal Government has yet to release EPFA federal funding to BC First Nations (one of the only Provinces in Canada that has yet to receive the funding). What are you and your party committed to do to ensure that EPFA dollars flow to B.C.?
