Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her question.
Over half the budget is aimed at women since they represent 50% of the Canadian population. There are also components for women who make different choices. I am referring to various tax measures including the $1,200 universal child care benefit. This measure allows women and parents to make different choices, to take on responsibility for them and to have some assistance from the government. It is a concrete measure.
Other measures support families, such as the $500 children’s fitness tax credit . Our society is in shape and that is part of the government's objectives.
