I'm very happy to share the time with my colleagues.
Thank you for coming here today. Some of the questions that I would ask you are questions we would ask you as witnesses in this study, even though we're just at the beginning of it.
I think there are people who would be surprised to hear that there are a lot of children waiting to be adopted. There's a sort of a common feeling out there that it's hard to adopt a child. Can you give me a sense of how long it takes, of how many children are available and what is the process is for adoption? It probably makes sense to look at Ontario, since that's where we are.
Can you just give me a sense of the numbers of children waiting to be adopted at different ages and how long it takes to adopt a child?
