CARLINE: response to Michael Baker

June 2nd 2005
[This is Carline's reply to Justice Minister Baker as relayed in her telephone conversation last night.]

"Starving for the Children" is not only for Mona-Clare. It is for the 100's of children in Nova Scotia who have been snatched by a corrupt child welfare system. The public inquiry is needed to examine the activities of this Child Welfare System in Nova Scotia.

I have put in 4 requests to see a medical doctor. All have been refused. I will be contacting Tony Stores, ombudsman and medical laison for his help. Corrections supplies 2 cups of Ensure, milk and juice a day. While I'm at court they give me pop! Good nutritional support that is!

Repeated attempts by Larry and myself and by other advocates, to contact and meet with Premier Hamm,Justice Minister Baker and Community Services Minister David Morse have all been denied. There are 30 boxes of documents at the court every day on Water Street that Minister Baker should take a look at.

There are advocates here in Halifax who are willing to give him all the information he needs to call a public inquiry. Come on Minister Baker, lift the deliberate blindness,look at the information and open the lines of communication. Let the truth come out!
