It's a miracle.
When the campaign to end child poverty by 2000 first started, I chaired the first meeting in Hamilton. Sometimes it seems like 100 years ago now, given the way I feel. Fraser Mustard wrote something very similar to what you said earlier about how by investing a dollar in a child's early development, you save nine. I thought he said seven, but I'm certainly not going to quibble. It's there.
As you sit here observing the committee functions, I have to ask you a question. How do you feel coming before a parliamentary committee, expecting to offer the best advice that you have to all of us, only to have some government members putting forward their spin about a carbon tax?
