For many years the CCRC has proposed establishment of a National Children’s Commissioner as a focal point for implementation of children’s rights in Canada. The need for and benefit of such an office have been well-documented. What we need now is a national dialogue to build consensus on the mandate and how the office would work with young people and other government agencies, such as the provincial children’s advocates. Organizations and individuals are asked to support and help promote a joint call to action:Joint Call to Action and Elements for Discussion re Canadian Commissioner for Children and Youth; Appel à la concertation pour un Commissaire canadien à l’enfance et à la jeunesse.
