Leukikia

Monica Pomahac-Lansing was a single mother of 3 children who was dying from leukemia. On the night she was released from the hospital, the Lethbridge City Police took her children away from her under the direction of her abusive ex-husband. She died the next day without ever seeing her children again.Because of her plight and the unrelenting efforts of her sole surviving sister Andrea Glover, Monica's true legacy was guaranteed. Andrea approached her local member of Parliament, Rick Casson who then took it upon himself to champion a Private Member's Bill ,named Bill C-252 in the Canadian House of Parliament.

MPs united on an unprecedented scale on March 23,2007 and voted 302-0 to pass a bill ensuring a terminally ill divorced parent death-bed access to children in the custody of the other parent. On May 31 of this year in an historic moment the bill C-252 received royal assent and wasread into law.

This film chronicles the tragic events that changed Canadian law.

My heart goes out to the children who were in the middle of this. I can understand in some ways since I have cancer myself and have 3 kids. I would be devastated if the ex took them. And what a thing to go through especially if you are so ill. I am glad the bill past and hopefully it will work for others if it ever came down to that situation. I hope the children are okay now. My blessings to the family.
