Mr. Speaker, I wish to assure the House and all Canadians that it was never my intention to convey the impression that a person who stays at home does not work. This was never my intention. This is not what I meant and this has never been my belief.
The role of a partner who works in the home can be even far more demanding than the role of one who has to go outside the house to work.
Mr. Speaker, I thank you for this opportunity to clarify my words of yesterday.
