AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for the question. I believe that she knows cabinet process very well, as I do, and she will have to wait until the budget is brought down on Thursday afternoon. Hon Sue Ellery : Did you advocate for families? I am not asking you what is in the budget. Just answer. Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY : I have spent my life advocating for families and children.
