Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Leader
of
the
third
party,
thank
you
honorable
speaker
in
2018,
my
constituency
office
saw
an
increase
in
cases
with
distressed
parents,
sharing
stories
about
how
they
were
treated
by
ministry
of
children
and
family.
Their
children
had
been
removed
and
they
were
seeking
advocacy
from
our
office
to
help
them
reunite
as
a
family.
The
work
is
incredibly
delicate.
A
We
needed
someone
who
could
serve
these
parents
and
families.
Well.
The
first
time
I
met
b
mckenzie.
We
were
at
a
meeting
discussing
the
case
of
a
mother
whose
child
was
to
be
removed
in
the
hospital
at
birth.
We
had
our
heads
together
talking
as
though
we'd
been
connected,
all
our
lives.
This
is
bee's
magic.
A
She
sees
a
person
completely
immediately
soon.
Afterwards,
we
hired
b
as
the
mcfd
advocate
in
our
constituency
office
by
the
time
parents
came
to
our
office
seeking
help.
They
are
traumatized
and
struggling
with
hope,
b,
understood
their
situation
immediately
and
supported
many
parents
in
reuniting
with
their
children.
These
parents
trusted
b
because
b
trusted
them.
