Reviews
This book is well organized and includes a thorough index. Contributors, largely Canadian academics, back up their arguments and analysis with references to legislation, regulations, Royal Commission findings and reports, media articles, and case studies, all serving to situate the reader at the heart of the issues presented. Extensive footnotes and a table of cases reflect this strong foundation in legal and related sources. A fascinating read, this book is a welcome addition to existing literature appearing on this topic and will introduce many to the Canadian context. Canada's proximity to the United States, a factor in the increasing internationalization and interest in Canada as a surrogate-seeking destination, makes this book of interest for legal scholars and practitioners beyond Canada's borders. Insightful examination of complex questions will ensure this book's value in relevant courses and research collections. --Margo Jeske, Special Projects Librarian, Brian Dickson Law Library, University of Ottawa Law Library Journal, Vol. 111:3 (2019), 445.
