Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to applaud you for making this proposed amendment. I've been working with stakeholders who are working towards having more recognition of equal parenting. I think everyone around the table realizes that it's in the best interests of a child to have a good relationship with both parents. This is a great starting point, and I believe it's consistent with the Senate report of 1998. I hope, therefore, that colleagues around the table will be supportive of this amendment.
