The Missing Terms of Reference

For over a month, we Liberals have been asking for the Terms of Reference for the external review the government is going to conduct into Manitoba's Child and Family Services. To date, all we have received is a press release. This is spin taken to an absurd extent.

This is a very important issue. Some 31 children have been killed while in the care of Manitoba Child and Family Services, or shortly after leaving care. I have been asked repeatedly by people who would like to present to the review for the terms of reference. I have asked the government repeatedly for the terms of reference, but each time I have been refused, or have been given a press release. This is an outrageous way for the government to operate.
