The brief description of the living conditions for all the children , although not submitted as contributing to her death, leaves many questions about the home situation which should have been viewed as a contributing factor , much the same way as any environmental conditions are taken into consideration when conducting an inquest. Wellness checks are an inadequate remedy for a living environment that definitely should be reviewed as a probable contributing factor in the young child’s death, either by suicide, natural causes or a criminal act. What is most disturbing is the reported Police position of the death being that of suicide. Even an obvious suicide is always investigated as suspicious for the purpose of eliminating all possibility of criminal conduct being linked to a death. The inquest is complete , however that does not prevent the police from , reviewing their evidence and issuing a public finding based on evidence that in fact her death was indeed suicide? Further Social development should be ordered to conduct a review of their responsibility towards the care and living conditions that children are experiencing when being home schooled, what changes need to be made to ensure that procedures are in place to conduct home visits to assertion that children are recoining the basic standards of living and care as established in provincial law.

This is very disturbing, too many red flags throughout, and sadly, it appears no justice will will happen as a result of this poor child’s death.

Political parties of both stripes have used the promise of lowered or regulated electricity costs for home owners to gain political control of government, this also got these same politicians support from industry , who als benefited from lowered energy costs, which they argued assisted them in being more competitive. This manipulated lowered price has been provided through NB POWER opporating in a deficit and increasing the NB POWER DEBT, which we the residents will have to pay for, industry will not be burdened with this debt, but we will! Supporting restructuring NB POWER and its present relationship with our legislature, must be a priority for our present and future Premiers! We the residents need to focus on what must be done and make it clear that this not a political party platform issue, letting politicians divide us will just ensure we keep status quo, this givernment and any future government need to know what we expect. A not for profit model is a great idea, as long as the Corperation is monitored by government to ensure tgey are efficient and prividing the province with the electricity we need for Industry and residential use.

Thank you. Years ago, the Conservation Council of N.B., did a report saying the cancer rate in Saint John was higher than Fredericton or Moncton. The Province of N.B., is negligent on their responsibilities.
