“I want this bill to pass. Asking questions over and over delays action and keeps things the way they are. Parents are worried about how much things have changed, and they want the government to act to help them.”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her important speech on this bill, which is also important. I listened carefully to her speech and I noticed that she repeated “why” a lot. I do not know how many times she repeated that word. That immediately made me think of the status quo. People often ask why we are not doing this or why we are not doing that. Some parents are saying that enough is enough with the status quo and that we need to move forward. Parents watching at home, who, like me, have seen how much things have changed in recent years, are concerned. They want the government to make decisions and move forward. Often, when we ask “why” too much, years go by and nothing gets done. Does my colleague agree that the government should be able to help parents? Does she agree that this bill needs to move forward so we can develop guidelines to help parents properly raise their children?”
