I imagine you all have a wonderful time at Christmas and other holidays. It's amazing to hear how much a heart can open up and how much it can take in. It's inspiring to all of us.
Ms. Lewis, what do people go through when they adopt? What makes them adopt? You've told us that. I think this is an important part of our study. At the very end, you recommended that “the government can ease transition for adoptive parents and their children by removing some of the stressors that diminish our focus, financially and socially”. The Loneys mentioned web-based resource centres, expediting the adoption process, the central database, tax credits for expenses, mortgage costs, scholarships, things like that. We've heard from other people that we really don't have enough national information to make it easier for people to adopt. We've heard, time and again, that it's actually easier to adopt internationally than it is interprovincially in Canada. There is the idea of the central database. Is that one of the things that we need to do, so that people know what the need is, what the potential is? Would that make it easier for people to adopt children? I ask anybody at the panel.
