misrepresenting his qualifications. Hundreds of children under supervision of CAS have died in the last few years but CAS will not release much information citing privacy concerns. In the province of Ontario, the majority of front-line CAS workers are not registered social workers. Several groups, including Canadacourtwatch.org posting Case Law and Canada Court Watch.com's public protest efforts have brought these issues to light, citing concerns with respect to accountability. Controversy Powerful As God, a 2011 film focusing on the first hand experiences of 26 individuals who witnessed the social devastation caused by the Ontario CAS in recent years, reveals a hidden world of corruption, power hunger and incompetence that has been hidden from the scrutiny of the public eye for many decades. This award-winning film was produced and published by the Documentary Media (MFA) Program, Ryerson University and can be viewed online. In March 2013, The Toronto Star published an article about a leaked memo which would suggest that the CAS are funded on open cases and on a per-child basis. In this memo, Peel workers were urged to delay the closing of files for as long as possible sparking controversy with parents with open files and children in care. Families who are separated by court orders who should return were met with high resistance by the CAS. This is also the potential proof that the funding model that CAS is currently receiving is being corrupted to achieve maximum funding by the government.
