Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Foster homes and parents should be selected on the basis of the quality of care likely to be provided the children. The rules governing the selection and monitoring of foster homes should be reviewed. The system should focus less on technicalities and more on finding a safe and responsible home environment for children in need. Greater attention should also be placed on the needs and concerns of foster parents. They should be provided with as much information as possible about the children placed in their care. There is an ongoing need for support and training for foster parents.
