I'm going to have a question and then I think Mr. Garneau has a question.
One of the things we've heard both on the issue of international adoptions and adoptions within Canada is the issue of database information that's available to potential adoptive parents. In terms of international adoptions we've heard that some witnesses thought that a database with updated information on the requirements of each country, protocols, and that sort of thing either doesn't exist or it's not robust enough. And the other one is, within Canada a national database with information regarding the number of children available, how long they've been waiting, etc., where they are, what their other situations are--do they have siblings--that sort of stuff would be helpful if we had more of a database on both types of adoptions.
Perhaps I'd start with CIC and ask HRSDC if they had anything to say on that.
