Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, November 20, is national child day.
The strength of our society will depend on the investments that we, as a country, are now making in our families and in our children. There is no greater priority for a government. This is why we announced in the recent Speech from the Throne an investment of over $7 billion, between now and next July, in children's programs. Also, Human Resources Development Canada is funding a study to follow 23,999 Canadian children through various stages of their lives.
I invite hon. members to join me in supporting national child day and in showing that our children, who will become tomorrow's leaders, are our priority today.
