Mr. Speaker, I am not exactly sure what the question relates to. If it is to a particular immigration case, I would encourage the member to raise it with me privately, because, of course, she will know that I cannot discuss individual cases publicly without a privacy waiver.
Our government has streamlined the process for the adoption of children from abroad by allowing them to be naturalized from abroad. The process for approving foreign adoptions has sped up, in many cases, by as much as three years.
She should also know that we need to be very careful not to process foreign adoptions unless we are absolutely sure that all of the bases have been covered so that we can avoid bringing children over who do not have the consent of their parents to be adopted.
