Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I didn't say that it was a waste of time to develop programs to encourage children to be in school, nor did I say it was a waste of time to encourage families to make sure that their kids attended school. But there's a big difference between finding a family that isn't sending a kid to school because he hasn't got any shoes and finding a way to support getting some shoes on the feet of that kid so that he is comfortable coming to school.
