“We’re relieved but a little skeptical as well,” added Elena Lawson, co-founder of the Children’s Autism Federation of BC.
Premier David Eby provided a telling glimpse into his leadership style Friday, as he reversed controversial changes to child autism funding that he inherited from the previous John Horgan administration.
“Those parents that have systems in place that are working for their kids will be able to continue with those programs. We don't want those parents to face any more stress. We've been listening, and government is responding.”“We’re really excited and happy that families will be able to keep their autism funding and service providers that work with their kids and help them in so many different ways,” said Julia Boyle, executive director of AutismBC.
There’s also a lesson here about the focus of the government, and what happens to files that go sideways and become a distraction. Mitzi Dean, the minister of children and family development who launched and defended this plan, will likely lose her job over the debacle. Don’t expect her in the post when Eby shuffles his cabinet on Dec. 7. She may not even make his new cabinet at all.
