Madam Speaker, I am pleased the member participated in the debate. He has done a lot of work in the area.
His comment on delinking children from their parents is something which has not received the intense scrutiny it should have received.
I note in his speech back on March 21 in this place he gave the example of the Netherlands where the rate of marriage declined 10% each year after changes to the definition of marriage were introduced. In 2004 it declined between 3% and 4%, to the point now where 61% of children are born outside marriage.
The question for the member is have we spent too much time talking about the implications of these changes to adults, and have we forgotten to talk about the implications of these changes to society as a whole through its children?
