So many people contribute hours of their time*each and every day to care for our children.* I appreciate how engaged people working in the system are in the legislation that governs it, and I look forward to making sure we get this right.

Thank you again for your input. Rest assured that it will be taken into account.

I got the exact same letter, word for word, but from a different MP. They must share resources. It's encouraging that at the very least, it won't be until Feb, and I'm glad they appear to be doing their due diligence and not just rushing this through. I've thought of little else for the last week, and I feel a little less stressed going in to the x-mas season.
