Thank you, Chair.
It's great to be back. Good morning to all of my colleagues.
MP Falk, good morning. Congratulations on the efforts you've made.
I would tend to look at your private member's bill as an opportunity for you to highlight a cause. It's an opportunity for you to bring your beliefs and, obviously, your passion about this to the floor to be debated.
Obviously there's a back-and-forth, but to be frank, instead of viewing it as a.... I almost sense a bit of negativity, to be honest. I would view it as a victory for you too. I think members in this House, whether they're in opposition or sitting in government, have that opportunity to bring things forth. I was happy to support you with that vote, but I think that as MPs, it's important for us to challenge government, whether you're sitting in government or you're sitting across the House.
I thank you for the work you've done on it. Obviously it's an important issue, which is why I was happy to support you, but I'm wondering if you can give us some examples.
I can certainly talk at length about adoptive parents who came into my constituency office and had their concerns about the 15 weeks that they couldn't receive, and a time for bonding and so on and so forth. Can you give us a few examples of parents who came into your office and what they went through?
