Thank you to the member for the question.
I don't know if I have the exact cost, because that will vary by jurisdiction, but it can be a significant cost, particularly when you're getting into international adoption, which can be extremely costly. You could be running as high as $30,000 or $35,000 for an international adoption. But certainly it's not unrealistic to be spending $10,000 to $15,000 with respect to adoption. I think there are other witnesses who can provide more detailed information by jurisdiction on how that goes.
There will be some opportunity for this committee as well to take a look at adoption across the country, and one of the reasons that I think it would be good for this committee is that best practices can be looked at as well. In particular, the Province of Quebec is quite ahead of the rest of the country in this regard, and there may be some lessons learned for the committee in looking at how they handle the issue of adoption.
