ARR: One Door Closes, but the FFARIQ is Not Giving Up
Last April, the FFARIQ filed an application to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, along with other associations representing foster families, to challenge the Quebec Court of Appeal's decision regarding the unconstitutionality of certain provisions of the ARR (Act respecting the representation of family-type resources and certain intermediate resources and the negotiation process for their group agreements).
Our goal is to have family-type resources recognized as having the right to effective collective bargaining mechanisms on the same basis as any other employee.
The Supreme Court has closed one door, but others are opening. We will now take the fight to the political arena.
