Some of the key recommendations listed in their interim report released this past June include:
-
reducing the number of Aboriginal children in care by ... providing
adequate resources to enable Aboriginal communities and child-welfare
organizations to keep Aboriginal families together where it is safe to
do so
-
developing with Aboriginal groups a joint strategy to eliminate
educational and employment gaps between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal
Canadians
-
acknowledging that the current state of Aboriginal health in Canada is
a direct result of previous Canadian government policies, including
residential schools
-
eliminating the overrepresentation of Aboriginal people in custody
over the next decade, and to issue detailed annual reports that monitor
and evaluate progress in doing so
-
appointing a public inquiry into the causes of, and remedies for, the
disproportionate victimization of Aboriginal women and girls.
- developing a national action plan, strategies, and other concrete measures to achieve the goals of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
