Newfoundland and Labrador's advocate for children and youth is launching four new investigations, and says the provincial government has done "literally nothing" to bring in legislation that would ensure she's notified of deaths and serious incidents. Sherry Gambin-Walsh says work is happening to establish reporting legislation. She said the new Liberal government has not acted yet despite promising to develop legislation to make reporting deaths and critical incidents necessary. The Department of Children, Seniors and Social Development is reporting deaths to Chafe's office. "We don't want the message out there that there's an absence of mandatory reporting to the child to the child and youth advocate, you know, that doesn't exist, we do report," said Gambin-Walsh.
