        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"36942\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I will begin by saying that I have a great amount of respect for the member opposite. We have had many discussions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"36943\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have to try to correct some things and then perhaps he would comment on them. The last thing he mentioned was putting the $1,200 into an RESP and that it had better not be the gross amount. The member should know that once it goes into an RESP, it is completely tax free. I guess that is part of that rhetoric.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"36944\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member alluded to the synapses in this developmental process and he is absolutely correct, that does happen. Indeed, that first year is such a crucial time for children. The EI program allows folks to be off work for a year. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"36945\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is my concern and also my question for the member. I am absolutely sure he does not share the views of the majority of his colleagues on the Liberal side of the House when he suggests that we need to get these kids at that early stage and put them into an early childhood educational program especially since parents can do a much better job given all the love that everyone knows they can give.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"36946\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am concerned that the message I am getting from the opposite side of the House is that heaven forbid if parents choose to rear their children, in some way they are being offensive and maybe should be charged with child abuse. Clearly the member does not mean that. I know that is the impression we are getting from other members in his party. Surely that is not the impression the member wants us to believe.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"36942\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, pour commencer, je dois dire que j'ai beaucoup de respect pour le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face, avec qui j'ai eu de nombreuses discussions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"36943\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me propose de faire quelques mises au point; apr\u00e8s quoi, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 voudra peut-\u00eatre y aller de ses observations. Le dernier point qu'il a soulev\u00e9 est le cas o\u00f9 les 1 200 $ seraient investis dans un REER, ajoutant qu'il vaudrait mieux ne pas placer le montant brut. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 devrait savoir que les sommes vers\u00e9es dans un REER ne sont pas imposables. Je suppose que c'\u00e9tait une fleur de rh\u00e9torique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"36944\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a fait allusion aux synapses en parlant du d\u00e9veloppement de l'enfant. Il a parfaitement raison, c'est ce qui se produit. La premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e est effectivement cruciale. Le programme d'assurance-emploi permet de s'absenter du travail durant une ann\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"36945\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voici ce qui me pr\u00e9occupe, et j'en fais une question que j'adresse au d\u00e9put\u00e9. Je suis persuad\u00e9 qu'il ne partage pas le point de vue de la majorit\u00e9 de ses coll\u00e8gues lib\u00e9raux \u00e0 la Chambre lorsqu'il donne \u00e0 penser que des enfants en si bas \u00e2ge devraient \u00eatre inscrits \u00e0 un programme d'\u00e9ducation pr\u00e9scolaire, surtout quand les parents peuvent faire tellement mieux; ils ont tant d'amour \u00e0 donner \u00e0 leurs enfants, comme on le sait tous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"36946\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 les entendre, on dirait que les gens d'en face ne voudraient surtout pas que les parents \u00e9l\u00e8vent leurs propres enfants, que cela est inconvenant pour une raison ou pour une autre et qu'il faudrait peut-\u00eatre accuser les parents de violence faite aux enfants; je trouve cela inqui\u00e9tant. Ce n'est s\u00fbrement pas ce que veut dire le d\u00e9put\u00e9. C'est en tout cas l'impression que nous donnent d'autres d\u00e9put\u00e9s de son parti. Ce n'est pas ce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 voudrait nous faire croire, n'est-ce pas?</p>"
