[National Child Day, November 20th, 1996]

Mr. Speaker, today marks the fourth anniversary of National Child Day. This day was proclaimed by the Canadian government to recognize two initiatives taken by the United Nations: the 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child.

I have the honour of being the grandmother of two. I feel it is essential to tell our children that our future is their future since, some day, they will take over from us.

In Canada, one child out of five lives in poverty. This day reminds us that we have a lot of work to do to ensure a better future for these children.

We are overjoyed by the energy and the spontaneous love displayed by our children. Today, we are telling them that we love them.
