These cases of abuse are especially disturbing in light of the fact that
in 2001 the government of Nova Scotia commissioned internationally-
renowned consultant Dr. Michael Kendrick to investigate the ways the
Nova Scotia government helps disabled people stay independent. The
report made several recommendations for better policies, improved
communications and more money to be spent on services for persons
with disabilities. When the report was released the government
committed to make decisions about the recommendations within
months. Eight years later the report has been shelved and the
government has taken little action on any of the recommendations
made by Dr. Michael Kendrick.
