    "content": "The Chair makes a lot of sense. But, just look at what he is saying so that I can convince him that whereas he started out to look for a good law, he ended up drafting a law which will hurt him; it will hit him on the foot. The Bill proposes to delete the words “a Registered Adoption Society”. In other words, in the parent Act, we had one particular definition which is “a Registered Adoption Society”. The Chair is right that we need a national adoption society. What are you now bringing? It is that you delete that and substitute therefore the words “the National Adoption Society or any other Registered Adoption Society”. Other than the fact of what we complained about in the morning which is mainstreaming the agency we had called “the Children Society” and giving it some form of monopoly over adoption rights, we now have any other adoption society. If we were going to identify or define one national society, the Chair would perhaps have put a full stop after “the National Adoption Society” so that you give total monopoly to the agency we have been talking about since morning. To that extent, this phraseology is vague and I support the amendment to delete it."
