Comments
Jay Jackson NDP       see the NDP response
Matt Smith Green none unconditional with disclosure vetoes I believe the most control in these issues should be given to the child upon reaching the age of 16.
Barbara Sullivan Liberal   with disclosure vetoes with disclosure vetoes I would favour a system that would give adult adoptees access to their birth records unless the birth parents refused consent for access to those records.

Similarly, I would support a system giving birth parents access to an amended birth certificate unless the adoptee refused consent for access.
