The Protecteur du citoyen's report on parents' financial contribution towards the placement of their child under government charge: Summary

  • March 21, 2013

The Protecteur du citoyen's report published today indicates that the administration of parents' financial contribution towards placement of their children under age 18 must be reviewed and that youth centre practices in this regard must be standardized.

The Protecteur du citoyen is not calling into question parents' obligation to make this contribution. However, it has noted that the Regulation and policy which govern administration of the contribution are obsolete and their application differs from one youth centre to another. The result: inconsistency and unfairness.
