The Liberals today released a long awaited report that acknowledge many of the shortcomings in the community living sector the government previously denied, say New Democrats.

While the Liberals continue to stall on measures that would improve the lives of nearly 14,000 of B.C.’s most vulnerable citizens, New Democrats are renewing the call for the release of two internal Community Living B.C. (CLBC) reviews the government promised last year.

Despite a record amount of judicial stays and critical backlog in B.C. courtrooms, the Liberal government has failed to appoint enough judges to match 2010 levels, while remaining 18 judges short of 2005 levels, says New Democrat Attorney General critic Leonard Krog.

During the fall sitting of the legislature, BC New Democrats raised serious issues and proposed realistic, practical solutions on key priorities such as inequality, post-secondary education and training and building a sustainable economy. At the same time, the Liberals have failed to act on crucial issues and have spent most of their time covering up shady backroom dealing.
