In November 2023, B.C.’s Human Rights Commissioner launched an inquiry into detentions under the Adult Guardianship Act (AGA). In April 2025, the final report, “We’re Still Here” was released, detailing Commissioner Govender’s findings and recommendations. 

This monitoring report reviews the progress of recommendations 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 8 from the Commissioner’s Inquiry over the six-month period since release of the Inquiry report. Recommendations reviewed for this report were made to designated agencies (mostly health authorities), Ministry of Attorney General and the Ministry of Health. 

The Commissioner will continue to monitor the status of implementation through regular engagements with duty holders and the three subsequently planned progress reports. The next progress report anticipated in fall 2026 will assess recommendations 2c, 3, 5a, progress on 5b, and 6.
