I'm sorry, Professor McLeod.

I noticed that in the States—and you alluded to their lack of support on this issue—the Americans who who took part in an adoption process and were polled talked about the benefits from their employer, and 68% of them talked about those benefits being a big thing that encouraged them. They were part of the decision-making process to adopt.

I wonder if the passage of this benefit and the equity that you and Ms. Eisner are seeking, will, in some shape or form, bump up our adoption rates here in Canada.
