Native Children's Aid Societies

The Chief of Ontario is being cautious about the government's plans to review the children's aid system in the province.

The native organization is concerned about the impact a 4-million dollar cut in funding will have on the First Nations agencies ability to deliver services.

The Chiefs' child welfare portfolio holder Grand Chief Randall Phillips says native agencies are limited to what they can do to deal with the shortfall.

Phillips says the federal government must also step forward as its also responsible for ensuring native agencies have the funding necessary.
