It's been over six months since B.C.'s child watchdog revealed the province spent roughly $66 million between 2002 and 2013 on “talk” with indigenous family service organizations and governments, rather than concrete services for kids and families.

The sum was in addition to the $90 million the government provides to indigenous organizations to run child and family services every year.
