Mr. Speaker, yesterday the member's colleague was asking the government what we could do to get people working.
Obviously one of the things we could do to get people working is to ensure that they have proper support for their children when in fact they are out in the paid workforce. I happen to believe that women who work at home are working every bit as hard so I specify the paid workforce.
However, for the member to suggest the government pull out of child care funding, it would take the case of the Canadian economy back decades. At the moment child care spaces across the country are set up by provincial governments with the financial assistance of the federal government directly to those families, primarily single income mother led families who without the assistance would not be able to go out into the paid labour force.
The member suggests that for some people it is not necessary. The same thing holds true for health care. Would he like to abolish national health care or education?
