Bill 23: The Advocate for Children and Youth Amendment Act

This bill primarily affects organizations and entities that provide designated services to children and youth in Manitoba — such as child care providers, social service agencies, Indigenous service organizations, and youth-focused nonprofits. Businesses or nonprofits that deliver these designated services may be approached to enter into formal agreements with the Advocate's office to support oversight and advocacy responsibilities. Day-to-day operations like service delivery, reporting, and coordination with government bodies could be touched by such agreements. The impact is more likely felt by mid-sized service organizations than solo operators or small businesses with no involvement in children's or youth services.
