Thank you very much.

Thank you to both of our witnesses.

It's always an honour to meet people who are doing good things for children and families. It means a lot to me personally. In my whole political career, I've always looked for ways to help children and level the playing field in many ways. Advocates, to me, are heroes who go out there and look for ways to create a better world around us.

Ms. Murphy, you said that there are 30,000 young people in care across the country. Was I correct in hearing that 1,700 per year are adopted? Is that correct?
