The Executive Director of the Halton Children‘s Aid Society fears user fees legislated by the provincial governâ€" ment will seriously hamper his agency‘s ability to protect abused children. : Provincial user fees plan draws protest from Halton CAS executive director Loblaws, Canadian Tire, Kmart, Food City, AP, Biway, The Bay, Aikenheads Today‘s Making a difference the United Way Canadian Publications Mail Product Agreement #435â€"201 100% Government Guaranteed Strip Coupons Maturing in 2003 ommunity service Page 8.173% * Rates subject to change Mark Slipp (416) 359â€"4633 13 Although the anticipated introâ€" duction date for these fees is Nov. 1st, no announcements have yet been made specifying which serâ€" vices will be included, who will be charged, and what the fees will be. This makes it very difficult for agencies such as CAS, and the families they work with, to play ahead. ""We have been told that everyâ€" thing a CAS does is under considâ€" eration for fees, and there are no guarantees that even the most basic services will still be availâ€" able at no cost. But our services are legally mandated â€" we are required by law to investigate abuse and protect children. What will happen to these vulnerable children if their families are unable to pay, or refuse to pay?" said Ron Coupland, Executive Director of the Halton Children‘s Aid Society. Coupland aired his concerns in a press release issued after Community and Social Services Minister Tony Silipo‘s announceâ€" ment in the provincial legislature, Thursday, that user fees for serâ€" vices to troubled and disabled children will be imposed â€" possiâ€" bly by November. The object of the user fees is to raise $11 milâ€" lion over the next two years. These fées are not imposed on adult services. *I think this plan shows a basic lack of understanding of what Children‘s Aid Societies and other children‘s services are all about and how they work," said Coupland.
