Adoption is clearly a provincial jurisdiction. The issue is how the provinces are working together to address that issue. I understand that they have had some discussion. In fact, they even have a provincial-territorial protocol for children and families moving between provinces and territories. There is some work being done to try to improve the situation, but there is no real role for the federal government, since this is clearly a provincial jurisdiction.
