Government Agencies

Michael Thompson Dept: His motion , which he plans to present at Wednesday's council meeting, calls for better co-ordination between various government agencies, according to CBC. He describes his plan as a system to help us monitor how the children or child is developing," he said. "If there is a problem, we can detect it and decide on the options for how to help the families and how to help the young children." Toronto Coun. Michael Thompson wants city staff to prepare a report that will examine ways government agencies can better protect immigrant children from abuse. Among his ideas is a registry to help prevent children new to Canada from falling through the cracks and to create an "early warning system" to help immigrant children suffering from abuse.
