Foster parents lose motion to keep toddler

VANCOUVER – The British Columbia foster parents of a Metis toddler have lost an emergency motion in the Supreme Court of Canada to keep the little girl until their appeal is settled. The couple’s lawyer said the Children’s Ministry planned to fly her to Ontario on Thursday to live with non-aboriginal adoptive parents and her biological sisters, whom she has never met. The Vancouver Island couple filed leave to appeal to the Supreme Court and sought an injunction to stop the ministry from moving the girl until their leave application is decided.
