Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services and it is in regard to the Child and Family Services Act and child apprehension. I see it as getting out of hand. Something has to be done to rein them in. I do not see why, in this day and age, we have the child protection officer along with the RCMP going into our hospitals and apprehending newborns, not even allowing the mother to bond with her newborn child.

For me, that is inhumane and emotionally stressful on the mother, the family and the community. I would like to know from the Minister, as First Nations governments are supposed to be consulted in apprehensions that are taking place, is he aware of this practice and what is he doing about it?
