Shut Up And Go To Sleep, You Newcomer Cretin!

"MS M. LAING: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are to
the minister responsible for human rights. Kids of the Canadian West, an affiliate of the American Kids program, continues to experience difficulties in meeting its opening deadline due to concerns over human rights violations. Recently a third
American affiliate has been suspended by a state licensing
authority due to allegations of human rights violations. Will the minister responsible for human rights meet with the chairman of the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission and demand
that he withhold funding pending a full-
scale investigation of
proven and alleged human rights violations by the American
parent agency in three separate states?

MS McCOY: Mr. Speaker, I believe the situation is being very closely watched by the appropriate agencies and ministers, but certainly the points that the hon. member raises are important ones. I understand that the project in Calgary is stalled at the moment pending further discussions and investigations.


MR. SPEAKER: Supplementary.


MS M. LAING: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I hope they're
more than stalled until we're sure.
Children are extremely vulnerable to the violation of their
basic rights to food, clothing, shelter, and protection from violence and abuse. As adults we have a responsibility to act on their behalf in order to protect them. Will the minister respon­sible for human rights investigate the treatment methods of the
Kids programs, including the possible use of unlawful confine­ment, food and sleep deprivation, and physical violence to break
down children?


MS McCOY: Mr. Speaker, many ministers in cabinet work in
concert on these sorts of issues, and I can assure the hon.
member that the items she is raising are being discussed"

Unlawful confinement is used on every single AARC prisoner, every single night while they are Newcomers.  There is no system used at AARC to protect the vulnerable from violence whatsoever.  This includes violence of a sexual nature, or physical assaults.
