The pressure remains on the Ford government to improve autism services for residents of the north.
With northern families of autistic children watching in the legislature, the minister responsible Todd Smith suggested improvements to the system are a work in progress. He explained the government is working “extremely hard,” to implement the over 100 recommendations from the province’s autism panel.
Previous to that Smith says he visited northern communities from Thunder Bay to Kenora, to Sault Ste. Marie and spoke with the families affected.
The families claim the Ford government caused already insufficient services to disappear which took decades to build.
