Five months after a coroner's inquest into the death of a mentally ill man at an Ontario jail, his family said Thursday the province has failed to implement any of the dozens of recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths in the future.
"How many tragic deaths and inquests do we need until governments do their duty to protect our most vulnerable and transform the correctional system?" he said at a news conference at Queen's Park. Kerzner did not answer directly when asked if he would apologize to the Faqiri family or why he didn't meet with them at the legislature, where they were waiting for him after the news conference. Instead, he said his thoughts are with the family.
Other recommendations included establishing a provincial agency to oversee and deliver health care in correctional facilities and ensuring people in custody who have acute mental health issues are assessed by a mental health professional within 24 hours of a court order or remand. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assailed New Brunswick's premier and other conservative leaders on Thursday, calling out the provincial government's position on abortion, LGBTQ youth and climate change.Kevin Spacey is pushing back on the 'rush to judgment' against him and is being backed by some big names as he seeks to reclaim his acting career.
