The commission says it will look into whether there was a violation of Rosalie Gagnon’s rights.
As part of its investigation, the commission could also make recommendations to the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale’s department of youth protection.
Quebec City police (SPVQ) confirmed Friday that the toddler had been stabbed to death.
