TORONTO - The lawyer for several families affected by faulty pediatric forensic pathology says he welcomes the Ontario government's decision to start looking at possible compensation.
Peter Wardle says that move and a review of shaken-baby death cases are a good start.
He'll be waiting to see what comes out of a team set up to look at compensation.
Attorney General Chris Bentley is setting up two teams to act on a scathing report by Justice Stephen Goudge, who blasted key players in a forensics scandal that saw innocent people branded as child killers.
Opposition Leader Bob Runciman says his party has no doubt the people who were wrongly accused or convicted deserve compensation, and he'd like to see a commitment from the Liberals.
He says the situation cries out for it, and the Tories will do what they can to ensure any compensation is appropriate
