lpv:spoken text	". I welcome the focus in the House today on the rights of children. Children, as the most vulnerable and defenceless members of society need extra rights and extra protection. It is a privilege for me to be part of a process that can begin to ensure that this protection is provided. The family, as was recognised by the drafters of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, is fundamental in protecting and promoting the rights of the child. It is in families that children learn the values of 'peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and solidarity' (preamble), as well as the skills necessary to implement these values in society throughout their lives. The Convention on the Rights of the Child recognises the responsibilities of parents in providing the proper care and attention to their children, as well as the child's right to receive this care, guidance, and love. I am happy to support the motion on the floor today which will ensure that these rights are supported – the rights of parents to raise their children, and the rights of children to that protection and support."@en1
