Mr. Speaker, speaking of plans that are not working, let us talk about child care.
Canadian families are amazed at how out of touch the human resources minister is. Last week I asked her to indicate the government position on parental leave because her departmental lawyers were in court questioning the value of the current one year parental leave that supports parents to stay at home for a year with their children. She did not answer that one, but she did ignite a firestorm of protest by insulting parents who use child care when over 70% of mom's work.
Will the minister apologize to Canadian families and does she support the current one year parental leave plan brought in by the previous Liberal government?
