MLA Michelle Mungall questions minister of MCFD about mishandling of child placement case
Показать описание
The minister's and now the Premier's responses to the questions that the public has on these cases in the Ministry of Children and Family Development are upsetting, to say the least. They have not committed to ensure that J.P. and her children are actually in counselling, as though they have no responsibility to make sure that that is happening. They have refused to take responsibility for the ministry putting the children in harm's way, defying court orders and siding with a sexual predator. That is the situation at hand.
They have even gone so far as to say that no court orders were violated, even though the facts clearly show that that's simply not the case. Worse still is that she knew the ministry's conduct in J.P.'s case three years ago was so abhorrent but still chose to spend millions in defending the indefensible rather than doing the right thing. We've just come to a point where no one trusts this government with an internal investigation, a review, whatever the minister wants to call it. How can she not see, how can the Premier not see that the only way forward is an independent investigation?
