moved for leave to introduce Bill C-246, an act respecting National Adoption Awareness Month.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to present to this House a bill to recognize November as National Adoption Awareness Month.
November has traditionally been recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month even though this has not been the case in legislation. Furthermore the province of British Columbia by proclamation of the premier does recognize November as being Adoption Awareness Month.
I am pleased to present this bill today. I am pleased to indicate that this bill is presented with the support of the Adoption Council of Canada.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
