The context

The complaint

Wanting to receive the amount she had been entitled to, the young girl complained to the Protecteur du citoyen.

What the investigation showed

The outcome

At the Protecteur du citoyen’s request, the CISSS reimbursed the teenager, issuing the $2,000 she was entitled to. The institution also took the required measures to better supervise the foster family.

This case was taken from our 2020-2021 Annual Report.
