LINKS had a meeting in January 2007 with the Minister of Family Services and Housing, Gordon Mackintosh. He appeared to be very receptive to our concerns and we were very hopeful that changes may be made soon. However, there now has been an election call and everything will now be on hold. No doubt there will be a change of minister, even if the NDP is re-elected, and definitely if they are not. While other provinces in Canada are moving ahead with opening their adoption laws, Manitoba is still stuck in the 1900's with nothing happening. Hopefully we will finally get someone in government who will have the concerns of the adoption community on their agenda and enough foresight to address the issues and to finally accept the will of the majority. It is about time that the majority be listened to and not be continually subjected to the concerns of the minority.
