On this one, because this would be different in the way we apply the rules, has the department ever done an assessment to determine the potential impact on existing adoption processes and regulations internationally? I think this will only impact international adoptions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this will only impact international adoptions with the automatic right to citizenship for adoptive children that would basically make them equal. Basically the rule applies to the first generation exactly the way it would to those who are naturalized in Canada.
Has the department done an assessment in the past? Is one being done while this committee is considering this legislation?
