(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was glad to second this motion. Mr. Gargan spoke very well on the motion. Aboriginal people believe in this. Our elders really believe in this; it is our culture. They would like to be able to adopt children when they want to. The aboriginal people in the NWT adopt children without going through the court system. This is our custom, and we believe in our custom. We would like to see this dealt with. If a baby were to be taken away from adoptive parents -- we do not believe this should happen. If parents are not treating their adopted children properly, they are able to talk to the people who adopted the child. This is the way it is in the NWT.
