I listened carefully to your discussion with officials in the first hour. The thing that was missing there, to me, was the notion of what you do two or three years after the adoption should one of the parents need to leave work to take care of the adopted child. And that happens a lot, folks. The three-year-old will be fine, through four and five, and then you will have to home-school.
My wife home-schooled our son for two full years, with loss of income, during grades one and two. That was okay for my family, but we heard testimony from people who were wiped out by that situation.
If a family is taking over a ward of the state, then you have to provide the backstop and the support, the income support, if that adoption or placement gets into difficulty. And that's not just expenses. That's EI two years after the adoption or placement, because the child has those needs. I don't claim to know how you monitor that, but that's the need you're talking about.
