Dan Lajoie NDP       please see the NDP response
Pauline Richards Green immediated and extended family members are adopted with contact vetoes with contact OR disclosure vetoes I support the adoptees right to know.

I support policies that protect the child above the parents. The adoptee should have the right to refuse the release of any information.

I'm assuming that all of the above refers to adult adoptees and that children are protected from the disruptive intrusion of the birth parents.

The Green Party has no policy in this regard. My answer is personal.

Sean Strickland Liberal       Please see the Liberal party response.
Elizabeth Witmer PC   with contact vetoes with disclosure vetoes
