We do not like large elements of the Constitution. We are having a constitutional convention to undo many of the negative parts of the Constitution. I do not support the wording above but the thrust of it and the logic behind it is that parents should not be forced to go out to work to the detriment of caring for their children. Has consideration been given to this provision in the Constitution? Since the issues raised are essentially the same as those relating to section 4, I have no wish to rehearse them. We will be opposing the section if the Minister does not accept the amendment.
