I was talking about training for judges and lawyers because, in my opinion, they are not necessarily aware of what we have talked about today. So it is important that they get the proper training. They understand the legal adoption process, but that's it. They don't know anything else about it. When I talked about training, I was specifically referring to the people from the United States because I think it is important that people in all professions be aware.
Two or three years ago, NACAC held a conference here in Ottawa. I advertised the event to all the lawyers and judges in Quebec and Ontario, as well as to all learning institutions, both English-speaking and French-speaking. Yet almost no one came. That's really sad.
This is related to the suggestion I made with respect to the Mental Health Commission of Canada raising awareness. To my knowledge, this commission is new. In general, when you talk about a site like the Mental Health Commission of Canada, adoption is included in that. It is important. When we talk about attachment—and I'm not only referring to adopted children—
we're talking about loss, grief...
This all has to do with adoption, but also with the public at large. I am aware that there are provincial and federal jurisdictions, but we could still overcome that and establish links between the two.
