Yes. First, it is great that we are the first country. It goes to show our dedication and commitment to this for the surrogates and the families. How can we apply the principles in practice to surrogacy arrangements to ensure they are upheld? That would be the main thing. How do we ensure this? How can they guide us on this?
I thank the witnesses so much. I have been listening. We are going from one committee to another and it is difficult. It is great that we are the first.
