Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is an issue where the safety of the child is paramount. There are at least five investigations done per child before any kind of wardship is considered. We respond to on average per child seven community reports of abuse or neglect. Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that we have to, in fact, take children into care, but I can tell the Member that across Canada there has been a study that we have taken part in where they've looked through the Canadian incident study of reported child abuse and maltreatment completed in 1998 and there are some very basic, common reasons why children come into care and things that affect children who are brought into care. For example, Mr. Speaker, 34 percent of the parents had alcohol and drug abuse issues; 31 percent of the parents had a child with history of abuse; 29 percent of the parents lacked social support; 24 percent of the parents had mental health issues; 23 percent of the parents experienced spousal violence themselves. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to point out that these figures are not cumulative because they overlap, but it points out that there are some very significant issues that affect children being brought into care and it's not something that's done lightly. Thank you.
