Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate the member on the birth of her child. I would also like to welcome her to Parliament and warn her that it is rather difficult to do this job when one has small children, and that goes for both mothers and fathers.
We really need to modernize the way Parliament works so that members do not have to choose between being a parent and fighting for their constituents. The traditional model of Parliament is based on an outdated image of the family. We need to modernize the way we work. Having more women MPs in the House is not the only way to achieve that, but it is certainly important.
