Madam Speaker, objectivity is required in the matter of social reform, not partisan politics that are being played out by the Minister of Human Resources Development. If we want to have a true social conscience in this country and if that is what government wants to provide, then let us help the truly needy and not continue the practice of helping everyone lest we offend and possibly lose votes.
Will the Liberals have the courage to act after they have received the input they are seeking? The government must govern, the government must lead, the government can only consult for so long. It has already been a year. How much longer do Canadians have to wait before their do-nothing, say-nothing, feel-good leader puts the action plan on the table?
