Madam Speaker, I heard some members of the Bloc caucus maintain that Quebeckers do not want the federal government to get involved in the issues, for example, in child care. Moreover, they maintained that Quebeckers rely only on the National Assembly.
Yet, since I have been in politics and even before I did volunteer work in community organizations, I have received requests from Quebeckers. On the child care issue, they wanted a Canada-wide system. Indeed, they were relying on the federal government, since it had a role to play. Provincial governments must deliver the service. However, the federal government has a role to play to ensure that all children and their families, throughout Canada, are entitled to this service.
What is the hon. member's response to all the Quebeckers who come into my office and the offices of several other Quebec MPs to ask the same question? How does he answer these people?
