Support Bill C-560. It is an amendment to the Divorce Act, which encourages Equal Parenting. This is what I am fighting for. Canada is way behind, in terms of our attitudes towards non-custodial parents. A child needs both parents, and it is in their best interest.
I made the mistake of wording it wrong, as I have been researching this. However, "Parental Rights" and "Equal Parenting" were one and the same, or so I thought. Calling it Child's Rights is to broad, and could potentially confuse people, as it would encompass everything from bullying in school, drug use, abuse, rec facilities for children in a community, etc.
My main concern is what is the best possible way to raise a child, and if two people are separated or divorced, nearly every single study shows the child will be healthier and better off mentally, if he/she gets to form close relationships with both parents.
