I was pleased that you mentioned Irwin Elman, who I think is one of the great heroes. He was the very first person Doug Ford fired when the Ford government came in. I mean, Irwin Elman kept children alive with his work.
I mention him because, in my region, adoption has some very dark sides to it because of what's happened in indigenous communities. I think of Azraya Ackabee-Kokopenace from Grassy Narrows, and Amy Owen and Courtney Scott from Fort Albany. We also lost Kanina Sue Turtle, Chantel Fox, Jolynn Winter—we lost all these children, and Irwin Elman documented what happened to them. They went into a black hole in this foster care system.
Adopt4Life has called for support for kinship and customary care. These indigenous children could have been raised and protected in their communities and in their culture.
Do you have language that could help us for the legislation? Have you looked at the importance of kinship and customary support so that indigenous children are not being taken out of their communities and dropped into the black hole that they are all too often thrown into?
