UPDATE: The Ontario Association of Child Protection Lawyers is ecstatic to see that new amendments to Bill 207 include removing leave requirements for child protection appeals to the OCA. Having access to the OCA was a major concern for us and was a focus of our submissions. /1 https://twitter.com/tammylawtweets/status/1316038511242489856

I want to express my gratitude and thanks to @douglasdowney and team for listening to our concerns and acting on them. It was a pleasure to appear at committee and to have a meaningful discussion with its members. We appreciate that child welfare has not been forgotten. /2

I want to also thank the OCL & @our_children for our united submissions on this issue. I want to also thank @Ont_Law_Assoc for its support of our concerns. We could not have done it without justice stakeholders coming together on this issue. We hope to work with you again. /end
