Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this bill is to replace an antiquated, existing Adoption Act and the major differences as I have outlined is some of the more openness in the adoption process, more involvement of aboriginal groups, recognition of cultural values and traditions and trying to determine the child's best interests. No, it is not specific to Nunavut, but it is more specific to have a greater involvement in the process for adoptions, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
