Bill 89: Supporting Child, Youth and Families Act

The government recently introduced Bill 89: Supporting Children, Youth and Families, 2016. As we review and revise Ontario’s legislation governing child protection, adoption, youth justice, residential licensing and other facets of the governments approach to children it is critically important we get it right. While the need to update the child welfare system is important, I want to ensure that the changes the government proposed will support Ontario’s children and young people in best way possible.

Your input on whether Bill 89 strikes the right balance and what, if anything is missing will assist me during debate and committee where I can bring forward amendments to strengthen and improve the child welfare system in Ontario.
