Mr. Speaker, what my hon. colleague said is extremely important and true. That is why this bill would put measures in place to give flexibility to Canadians working in federally regulated industries to balance work and family responsibilities. There would be greater flexibility for annual vacation days and holidays, more bereavement days in the event of losing a loved one, and more unpaid leave for family responsibilities.
I believe other programs we have implemented, such as the Canada child benefit, will also assist single parents who may need help in these specific cases.
There are a lot of good measures in this bill, and I hope my colleagues, even on the other side, support this bill.
