Alberta 's child and youth advocate questions proposed change to limit investigations into deaths of young adults.

Terri Pelton's office regularly reports on cases of death and serious injury of children and youth involved with the child intervention system.

If passed, a bill proposed last week would cap that reporting at the age of 20 .

Pelton said it’s critical to keep track of long-term outcomes for these young people.
