Premier Campbell Restricts Eligibility for Community Living Supports

BACI and its families are extremely disappointed that Premier
Gordon Campbell and his BC Liberal Cabinet "have approved
new regulations that will severely restrict eligibility for the
support services that Community Living BC provides to adults
with developmental disabilities." The regulations "violate all
professional advice and current international practice."

"The move will perpetuate extreme suffering and pose enormous risks
for profoundly-impaired adults, their families and communities...
It is purely a cost-saving measure...at a time when the Province has
declared a $3.9 BILLION budget surplus. The change was made with
no warning or public consultation. There was no formal announcement."
