The Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children (CCRC) congratulates Minister Lametti, Minister Duclos, Minister Gould, and Minister Rodriguez on their re-appointment to Cabinet as Ministers of Justice, Health, Families, Children and Social Development, and Canadian Heritage respectively. Within the next month all four of these ministers have an opportunity to show leadership on children’s rights through making improvements in the way Canada engages in the 5th/6th review of how Canada implements the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
November 20 is the 30th Anniversary of Ratification of the CRC, and we are asking all three to take this opportunity to show that Canada takes the ratification of human rights treaties seriously.
