Final comments or thoughts?

• Educate parents on the risk of abduction and the damage caused to children by an abduction.
• Generate greater awareness of The Hague child abduction convention.
• Secure more signatory nations to the convention.
• Have the government of Canada continue to play an active role in creating a dialogue with non-Hague convention countries.
• Empower Canada border services agency to review its entry/exit initiative for potential applications in child abduction situations.
• Change the law so that a passport can be revoked in cases of international child abduction (can only do so now if the passport is lost or stolen)
