Pringle reiterates call for national children’s advocate

Saskatchewan’s Child and Youth Advocate Bob Pringle is renewing the call for a national children’s advocate and voiced his opinion in a recent letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Pringle wrote Harper asking him to visit some Indigenous communities to see and hear the issues up close. “We believe that that is the number one human rights issue in this country, is the condition of Indigenous children,” said Pringle. The Harper government has continued to reject the call for a national children’s advocate.
