Mr. Speaker, I point out to the member that we have introduced a national child tax benefit of $1.7 billion. Since we have been in government we have increased the amount of the child care deduction. We have provided a family income supplement for roughly 350,000 low income parents on EI. We have enhanced the community action program and the Canada prenatal nutrition program for children at risk. I could carry on but I do not have the time.
In the House of Commons on December 2nd, 1998. See this statement in context.
