The idea is kind of a two-part role. They are to look at specific cases that serve as examples of.... Sorry; let me start over.
First I'll start by listing some countries. There are the U.K., Norway, and New Zealand. I'm blanking on some. There's a long list of countries. I think there are about 15 countries that have federal advocates who are child commissioners. Their role is to oversee and make sure children are taken into account in all decisions that affect them, in terms of the legislation aspect. Also, their role is to take on cases that serve as examples for major issues affecting children. An example of a current one is an aboriginal community that has no elementary school. That would be an example of a type of case that a child commissioner in Canada would take on to serve as the example for life differences available for different children of different backgrounds.
