Mr. Speaker, the member for Shefford is perhaps a minor exception to some of my criticism. In fact, in September 1997 the member moved a motion that was debated on November 19 which read:
That, in the opinion of this House, the government should review the level at which the child benefit is indexed.
She has at least shown some sympathy prior to this debate for the issue of child poverty. I give her recognition and credit for that as perhaps being a small beacon of light in a party that searches for an identity. Perhaps it should have made her the leader instead of Mr. Clark.
