Mr. Speaker, I will take four minutes now although that does not give me enough time to say what I would like to say about the bill.
I am very pleased that we are having this debate. I believe in compassionate care. I believe that with an aging population our country will have a need for it. Our demographics show us that by 2011 our population over 65 will have increased by 23%.
Who will be giving care? Typically it will be women. Who are these women? They are working in homes right now. We have changed over time.
