[127694] Mr. Byers: The review will consider the steps needed to make sure that parents have choices to help them balance the needs of their work and their children so that they may contribute fully to the competitiveness and productivity of the modern economy. The review will seek: To examine how the economy is changing, particularly in relation to working patterns, and what the needs of the modern economy will be. To identify how competitiveness and productivity in this context can be enhanced through giving families reasonable choices to help them to balance the needs of their children and work.
