Winnipeg Free Press: Province mum on flagged child-care facilities

One critic says the internal-only use of the trackers is another example of the behind-closed-doors approach.

“I just go back to the idea that we should have more information about places that are taking care of our kids than places that are making our pizza,” said Dr. Neil McArthur, director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba. He was referring to public health violations being readily available to Manitobans.

“There’s clearly a breakdown in transparency in a field where there needs to be transparency.”

McArthur said while the additional trackers could demonstrate the province is doing a good job of monitoring potentially problematic facilities, failing to provide the information means the public is unable to assess their value.
