In the 8 years since the Truth and Reconciliation final report was released, we've taken steps towards reconciliation.
Today, let’s acknowledge our achievements and shortfalls, and commit to working towards a better future.

ALT Text on a dark image reads, "’Children who lie in unmarked graves across this country were never forgotten by their families, nor their communities. In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission brought it to national attention and issued a final report with ninety-four Calls to Action. Ninety-four acts of reconciliation that have shaped, and will continue to shape, our intentions and actions. Ninety-four ways to ensure that something like this never happens again.’ – Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada." A slightly transparent image of several pairs of children’s moccasins lined up on the edge of a stage can be seen in the background.

No matter how you start your family, all new parents should have the time to welcome their child into their new home.
Extending Employment Insurance benefits to adoptive parents is one of the ways #FES2023 is making life more affordable for Canadians.

Quelle que soit la manière dont vous fondez votre famille, tous les nouveaux parents devraient avoir le temps d’accueillir leur enfant dans leur nouveau foyer.

Adoptive and intended parents are owed more than broken promises from the Liberal Government. C-318 is commonsense legislation that will give them the time they need and deserve with their child. #timetoattach

A thoughtful piece by a Chinese Adoptee.
"As I grew older, it became more common for ppl to ask how lucky I felt to be adopted... and that I should be grateful for my [adoptive] parents’
"generosity."
I have always belonged to an in-between place."

It was wonderful to have so many families present for yesterday’s debate who know firsthand just how meaningful an additional 15-week EI benefit will be for adoptive and intended parents.

Today, I introduced my private member’s bill, c-318, that proposes a new 15-week EI benefit for adoptive and intended parents to ensure greater parity in the parental benefits landscape.
All families are deserving of equal access to parental leave benefits. #c318
