About the Parentage Law Reform Project The project committee and the project’s supporter In carrying out this project, BCLI has had the assistance of the Parentage Law Reform Project Committee. [...] Content of the report The organization of the report The report is organized into 10 chapters. [...] The bulk of these chapters is taken up with dis-cussing recommendations for reform in the areas of part 3 of the Family Law Act which the committee identified as areas for improvement. [...] These summaries place each recommendation in sharper focus by providing (1) a short contrast between what the law in BC currently says and what the committee is proposing as its reform, (2) hyperlinks to explore the law and the committee’s recommenda-tion in more detail, later in the report, (3) a point-form list of the key reasons for the com-mittee’s recommended changes, and (4) a brief summary. [...] Second, the committee examined a gap in decision making for children born by surrogacy, which may appear in the period between the child’s birth and the surrogate’s consenting to relinquish the child to the intended parents.
