British Home Children In Canada (EDM18)

British Home Children In Canada

EDM number 18 in 2008-09, proposed by John Hemming on 03/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Cultural heritage, North America and Registration of births, deaths and marriages.

That this House notes that many Canadian citizens are descendants of British Home Children who were sent to Canada from the early 1870s to the late 1940s; further notes that these descendants are wondering about their origins but have some difficulties in obtaining information at a reasonable cost; and calls for the Government to liaise with the British Home Children and Descendants Association in Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotian government to identify how best to achieve progress in this matter.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
