Ms. Blondin-Andrew (Secretary of State (Children and Youth)) for Ms. McLellan (Minister of Health) , seconded by Mr. Mitchell (Secretary of State (Rural Development) (Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario)) , moved Motion No. 53, — That Bill C-13, in Clause 14, be amended by replacing lines 14 to 17 on page 9 with the following:

There should be a Government of Canada policy framework and action plan on aboriginal children and youth and their families in communities, with a vision, goals, targets, and desired outcomes; a commitment by the Government of Canada to make regular public reports on agreed outcome indicators of child and community well-being, tabled in the House of Commons and routinely referred to this standing committee; evaluation of the experience to date of the first nations component of the national child benefit; an exploration of the merits of expanding the first nations component of the Canada prenatal nutrition program; a consideration of expanding the national children's agenda to include school-aged children, specifically school-aged childr ...[+++]en with disabilities; a consideration of expanding the early childhood development initiatives by adding a specific aboriginal component a good start was made September 11, 2000 on this; an exploration of using the 115 or so native friendship centres that exist currently across the country as delivery agencies for supports and services for aboriginal peoples, whether on or off reserve, whether status or non-status; perhaps the establishment of multi-year framework agreements between the major national aboriginal organizations and relevant federal departments on funding child and family services for a variety of programs and benefits, including those for children with disabilities; and building on the throne speech promise last year of expanding significantly the aboriginal head start initiatives, an extension of that to include children aged 7 to 12, with a priority being given to inclusive services and supports in health, child care, and education (1635) Perhaps on the wider disability policy community debate, I would just conclude by saying, have the dollars follow the children and their families'.

Examples include the Everything but Arms initiative, lifting all tariffs and quotas on imports from least developed countries, and the Regulation on tiered pricing of medicines to promote the sale of pharmaceutical products to developing countries at substantially reduced prices; the EU Water and Energy Initiatives, as well as the Renewable Energy Coalition, launched at the Johannesburg World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD). It is specifically worth mentioning in this context the commitments made by the EU at the Monterrey Conference of Financing for Development (FfD), especially those relating to taking tangible steps by 2007 ...[+++] towards reaching the UN's 0.7% ODA target, advancing the effectiveness of aid through better co-ordination of policies and harmonisation of procedures, the untying of aid, increasing trade-related capacity building and actions in favour of debt sustainability.

The Barcelona commitment is to pursue the EU efforts to restore debt sustainability in the context of the enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative, so that developing countries, and especially the poorest ones, can pursue growth and development unconstrained by unsustainable debt dynamics.

In fact, the multilateral debt relief initiative cancels the debt to the International Development Association (IDA), the African Development Fund and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), but does not cover the outstanding loans from other regional development banks.
