Mr. Speaker, the member's comments and question are somewhat misdirected. We are witnessing a government bill which was introduced in previous Parliaments in private members' bills and motions. He is absolutely correct about that.
The Conservative government has said we need to take the first steps in making sure we provide the supports that families who are in true need have to have, so they do not have to worry about the economics of their situation.
In previous Parliaments those motions were opposed. The opposition was stalling and not allowing this kind of legislation to go forward.
That is the history of this. We are taking action.
