Foster Home Shortage
May 2, 2007

The NDP leader says the shortage of foster homes is nearing the crisis level. Lorraine Michael wants government to increase the amount people are paid to look after children who require such help. In the legislature yesterday, the minister responsible for child welfare, Ross Wiseman, said they are in year two of a three-phase increase in compensation paid to caregivers.

Will Ross,guess what? if year three is like years one and two,your not only in deep shit,your full of it!!

Thanks Tom, you gave a 14% wage increase to help the minimum wage go up to $8.00 per hour in NL but no sign of giving an increase to thousands of home support workers whose wages are mostly $8.04 per hour.That slap in the face is of course compensated for by giving us free Death Certificates.
