"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"31410\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to say that I do find common ground with the member of the government in that we both believe that the last 12 years were ones of broken promises. Therefore I am delighted to at least start this part of my participation in Parliament in a conciliatory way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"31411\" data-originallang=\"en\">Having said that and because nothing is ever unequivocal in this place, I do believe that the love of parents is absolutely important in the development of children but there is a reason why most Canadians do not home school their children. It is because the educational system offers excellence that we cannot provide at home. Let us be clear that child care is part of an early childhood education system. It is not a babysitting service. It is not in lieu of parenting. It is something that we absolutely must provide to give kids the best start in life. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"31412\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I am sorry but on that we will not agree but let us chat some more about 12 years of broken Liberal promises.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"31410\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je me r\u00e9jouis d'avoir quelque chose en commun avec le minist\u00e9riel. Nous pensons tous les deux que les 12 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es ont \u00e9t\u00e9 des ann\u00e9es de promesses non tenues. Je suis heureuse que ma participation aux travaux de cette assembl\u00e9e d\u00e9bute sur le ton de la conciliation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"31411\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela dit, et aussi parce que rien n'est jamais assez clair dans cette enceinte, j'estime que l'amour des parents est absolument essentiel au d\u00e9veloppement de l'enfant, mais il y a une raison pour laquelle la plupart des Canadiens ne se chargent pas de l'enseignement de leurs enfants \u00e0 la maison. C'est parce que le syst\u00e8me d'\u00e9ducation offre un niveau d'excellence que nous ne pouvons offrir \u00e0 la maison. Soyons clairs, les services de garde font partie du syst\u00e8me d'\u00e9ducation de la petite enfance. Il ne s'agit pas de simplement faire garder ses enfants. Il ne s'agit pas de remplacer les parents. Il s'agit de donner aux enfants le meilleur d\u00e9part possible dans la vie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"31412\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis d\u00e9sol\u00e9e mais nous ne nous entendrons pas sur cette question, alors parlons un peu plus des 12 ans de promesses lib\u00e9rales non tenues.</p>"
