00:00 And that's the National this Monday night. Thanks for watching.
00:03 For CBC News, I'm Peter Mansbridge. A reminder, our budget coverage starts with the tabling of the budget

00:37 The Journal, with Barbara Frum.
00:39 Good evening. How did 36 babies mysteriously come to die at Toronto's prestigious hospital for sick children more than a decade ago?
00:48 Was it murder? These questions continue to intrigue and concern.
00:53 It is a case that refuses to go away.
00:56 On Sunday, CBC Television will present a special edition of The Scales of Justice.
01:02 The two-hour dramatization explores the circumstances surrounding the baby deaths
01:07 and some of the questions that remain unanswered.
01:10 The program introduces us to the main characters, including nurse Susan Nellis,
01:15 first charged, then exonerated in four of the baby deaths.
01:19 It is a story of grieving, of victims and their families,
01:23 a story with so many unknowns that it seems destined to remain one of the great mysteries in Canadian legal history.
01:31 Tonight, I'll interview Susan Nellis, but first, Journal correspondent Lynn Whittam has this report.
