VICTORIA — British Columbia's children's minister has announced a review into the case of a father who molested his toddler despite a court order preventing unsupervised visits.
Stephanie Cadieux says her ministry will review all of the policy and practice concerns, as well as the human resource implications raised by the case.
She says the public deserves to know that the child welfare system is accountable but she will provide details of the review at a later time.
A B.C. Supreme Court judge found that the ministry recklessly disregarded its responsibility when it removed four children from their mother's care and accused her of being mentally ill.
Opposition New Democrats grilled Cadieux in the legislature on Thursday, with party leader John Horgan questioning why she has not apologized for the ministry's actions.
He says Cadieux is refusing to answer how many other court orders the ministry has ignored or how many other children have been put at risk.
