I'd like to follow up a little on the questioning of Mr. Lessard.
I think you probably do as good a job as possible. We know what the parameters are. Some of us who work with people who come to us for help with international adoptions understand some of the complications and difficulties of trying to help them with that.
Do you think it is important for your ministry to do some tracking afterwards to make sure you're bringing children into circumstances that are healthier for them than where they came from--often circumstances such as Haiti or where children live in orphanages? Should we in Canada and the Canadian government have some responsibility to follow up on that to make sure they're doing well?
For example, we just had a report tabled this week from Campaign 2000. It indicated that in Canada, one in ten children and their families live in poverty. Should we be bringing people from difficult circumstances to a place where they may continue to experience challenges? Shouldn't we know about that and be doing something to track that?
The reason we've asked for a review of the whole issue of adoption, brought forward by Mr. Watson, was to see where we are today as opposed to 10 to 30 years ago. Are we doing the right things? Do we have the right framework in place to make sure that when we bring children into this country they are experiencing a better quality of life than the situation they left?
