NL parents are concerned whether there'll be enough money for their children under Jordan's Principle

CBC Newfoundland Morning

It's still unclear what help will be available in the months to come under Jordan's Principle, and that's causing concern. Jordan's Principle is the result of a ruling by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. It's meant to ensure that First Nations children in Canada can get the services and support they need, when they need them. There's been a delay or shortfall this year in getting that federal funding to students in this province. As a result, the provincial government stepped in to help, with 6-point-4 million dollars to continue supports for students. The provincial education department confirms that the additional assistance will be available until the end of this school year. Jennifer Broadbent is a parent in Corner Brook who still has concerns that her son, Obie, won't get the help he needs. She spoke with the CBC's Alex Kennedy.
