Mr. Vellacott, you have children, and I have daughters. Do you know exactly what your children are doing 24 hours a day? No, of course you don't.
A lot of parents face issues connected to the fact their children do things to be part of a group and so on. If a child makes a mistake, should the parents be the ones to pay? I don't think so; I believe the parents' job is to be there 24 hours a day to support their children. If someone makes a mistake and charges down the stairs in an attempt to rob someone… I don't think a parent is going to tell his child to go and rob someone because he'll be entitled to 52 weeks of EI benefits if the child is injured. I don't think we should be penalizing parents for things that occur only very rarely.
