After learning they were switched at birth at a Manitoba hospital over 60 years ago, two men are looking for answers and compensation from the province. | CBCManitoba
Edward Ambrose holds up two picture frames. The picture in his left hand is a wedding photo of his 'bonded parents,' as he calls them. The pictures in his right hand are of his biological parents, who he never got to meet.
"I wasn't ready for that. It was a shock to me," Ambrose told CBC. "It [hurt], like there was something ripped out of me." The two men are working with a lawyer. They want an apology and compensation for what they went through. "I think it's shameful that the government won't at least try to help us straighten this out," he said. "The lawyer has to fight for every square inch we get."- Manitoba Métis Federation president David Chartrand
He hopes he and his daughter can become recognized citizens of the Manitoba Métis Federation, but he said he's not getting the help he needs from the province to change his birth certificate. Ambrose said his bonded father would have taken both of the boys into his care, had he known what Beauvais would go through.
