Ontario Child Advocate Appeals for Improved Funding

Ontario's Advocate for Children and Youth is dissapointed with the decision by the Federal Government to not let them intervene in a Federal Court case regarding funding services for First Nations Children.

Provincial Advocate Irwin Elman says the government seems to think there should be no comparison between the funding for First Nations children, and the remainder of children in the country.

Elman adds that they are doing everything they can to get their message across.

In April, the Federal court send the case to the Human Rights Tribunal and this hearing begins in February.
