| B.C. is in the middle of a child welfare crisis with nearly ten thousand children in care, half of whom are Aboriginal.

| Social workers in B.C. have such heavy caseloads and so few resources that they can do little for the families who need help.

| When one B.C. ministry takes children into temporary care, another B.C. ministry reduces the shelter allowance and parents lose their housing. This makes it very hard for the children to return home.
