The Ontario Bar Association (OBA) appreciates the opportunity to provide advice in connection with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services’ (“MCYS”) review of the Children and Family Services Act (“CFSA” or the “Act”). We look forward to working with the government as the review proceeds in order to ensure the Act serves the crucial purposes for which it is designed and to assist in finding ways to better meet the current and emerging needs of children, families and the justice sector.
