All of those are areas in which money goes specifically to stay-at-home parents. This is a program for early learning and child care. |
And the fact is that, in our last reporting date which is 2002-2003, Quebec had invested about $1.2-billion in early learning and child care. The next highest number was Ontario at $500-million. The province of British Columbia [was at] $98-million. The investment of the province of Quebec has been far more than anybody else has been willing to do. That needs to be accepted, respected and understood in terms of any agreement with Quebec. |

Because the demands on a goalie are mostly mental, it means that for a goalie the biggest enemy is himself. Not a puck, not an opponent, not a quirk of size or style. Him. The stress and anxiety he feels when he plays, the fear of failing, the fear of being embarrassed, the fear of being physically hurt, all the symptoms of his position, in constant ebb and flow, but never disappearing.

One needs to respect where Quebec is, |
So, speed up the when. |
The money is to be spent on the well-being of families, |
What is it like to hear the words you're dumb, you're stupid? That comes to be their understanding of themselves. |
You never want to give a fan a chance to find out whether it was passion or habit. I think for the great majority it's still a passion, but others have discovered that maybe it was something else. And so, as much as this can be problematic in the U.S. and that's where it's usually talked about, I think it's also a problem in this country. |
