Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our speakers.
In my previous round of testimony, I felt it necessary to put on the record the dark side of how adoption was used as a policy that still impacts our region, the indigenous communities in Treaty 9, because those policies were adopted at committees like this. When we put policy in place, I think we always have to have that frame of what the unintended consequences are. However, in saying that, I also feel I'm hearing a very heroic story of people stepping up with love, and this is a beautiful story, and so we need to make sure that our policies reflect that.
I certainly know many young people—in fact, some very close family members—who were raised through adoption and who've become extraordinary, loving and caring, but they need those role models, and your story and Madam Morel's stories are really moving.
I would like to ask you in my final few minutes, Madame Despaties, in terms of the support that you can give to other would-be parents, is that what your organization does? If someone decides they're going to take on a child with special needs, someone with multiple issues who's 10 or 12 years old and in and out of the foster care system, what kind of support is there, not just for the child but for the adult?
