Mr. Speaker, I want to put a little different slant on the last two speakers. My colleague from Prince Albert seems to have bought into what the member from Esquimalt said so passionately, that it is far better for a parent to look after the children at home and so on.
I wonder whether that does not have something to do with the parent's abilities. The member did say the positive impact of a loving parent, which helps a little. There are societies that believe care given by appropriate caregivers to allow both parents to work or do what they like and need to do is a good idea.
I refer the member to kibbutzim in Israel which do a wonderful job of raising children. I think they have a very simple answer to a complex question.
