Mr. Speaker, I must disagree, although I thank the parliamentary secretary for his answer.
I would really like an answer from the Prime Minister. Does he realize that a child's right of access to his or her family has been recognized in the convention of the child of the United Nations in 1989 and accepted by Canada in 1991? Legislation similar to this is in place now in Great Britain, the United States and Quebec.
What will the Prime Minister tell Canadian grandchildren who face yet another Christmas without their grandparents?
