Thank you. I just want to say how much we appreciate hearing your story and some of the challenges you're going through.
On this study, we're really trying to focus on adoption. It is important that we hear your story, but I just want to remind everybody to try to stay to the topic of adoption and the supports the federal government could provide. I appreciate your talking about possibly extending EI and the challenges that parents face who are adoptive parents, not just birth parents. But I just want to remind everyone of that.
I also just want to take a moment and acknowledge Jessica, who is I think probably the youngest witness. There are some around the table who have been here longer than I have, but I don't know if we've ever had a very young lady here as a witness. Thank you very much for being here. I'd like to say your last name for the record. It is Jessica van der Veer.
Welcome.
All right. We'll quickly go then to Destiny Adoption Services. If you could stick to around five, six minutes, that would be great. Thank you.
