Madam Speaker, again I thank the hon. member and his party for bringing forward this very important debate. I have a couple of questions for him.
One is on the national standards for all families, especially for those who are low income or single parent. Would he and his party not agree that the Canada pension plan, although we have difficulties with some aspects of it in terms of the premium payments, is a good idea for those people with low income so that they will have some kind of pension in their later years? Many low income families cannot participate in the RRSP program.
Would he agree that that program as well as national day care for low income families are good to have on a national basis?
