Mr. Speaker, I want to thank all members of the House today who spoke in favour of Motion No. 261.
This motion will very clearly demonstrate the leadership of this House in preventing some of the child abuse, violence and youth crime which we see in our society today. It will strengthen co-operation between the provinces and the federal government. It will strengthen parental involvement. It will provide a brighter future for children.
So far, five provinces and territories have come on side to say they want to work with the federal government to make a national head start program a reality.
Again I want to thank all the members who spoke in favour of this motion today. They are speaking in favour not only of this motion, but also of the future of the children of our nation.
