In Ontario, the Children's Aid Societies are not government organizations. They are private non-profit corporations. Therefore they have NO Ombudsman oversight to protect the rights of foster kids in the province of Ontario. Do you support Ombudsman oversight of CAS? If so, explain why. If not, explain why.

Let's debate the issue to learn both sides of the story. Ontario Liberals totally voted against it. The PCs and the NDP voted YES. The Ombudsman said to me that there would be no cost increase in giving him jurisidction over CAS and he has been fighting publicly to get oversight of CAS.
