Creation of a Special Parliamentary Committee on Youth Protection. The commission will have 18 months to do its work examining child protection services with a report and recommendations to be submitted to the government in November, 2020. The statistics show a critical and alarming situation. In addition to reviewing the functioning of the Direction de la protection de la jeunesse (youth protection directorate) and the role of the courts, this commission will allow us to highlight the inequalities experienced by First Nations children throughout Quebec. “The AFNQL demands the appointment of a First Nations co-chair to the Special Parliamentary Committee. In addition, we ask that issues specific to First Nations children be included in the commission’s mandate. Our children also deserve to grow up in dignity,” concluded AFNQL Chief Ghislain Picard.
