Families, Children and Social Development

During question period on families and social development, the Conservatives asked whether the government would adopt their ideas to make parental leave more flexible, including letting parents study or earn money while on leave, saying young families are struggling with housing costs. The Liberals replied by pointing to cost-of-living programs, including an upcoming groceries and essentials benefit of $1,900 for a family of four, and said the member asking had opposed child care and other family supports. The Conservative member pressed again for an answer on parental leave reform, and a Liberal member replied that he had voted against affordable child care and other measures benefiting families.Written by AI from the debate.
