The province of Manitoba has filed notice that it intends to fight a proposed class action lawsuit against it over birth alerts, arguing that the plaintiff in the case waited too long to sue.

The lawsuit was filed by Carol Harper, a mother from Winnipeg whose baby was taken by Child and Family Services (CFS) in 2019 shortly after birth.

In an amended statement of claim, filed in 2023 by CFM Lawyers of Vancouver, Harper alleges that happened because of a “birth alert” — a message CFS sends to hospitals warning when newborns are at risk.
