the week of april 13th to april 17th principal telephone by norm cafik mp ontario riding perhaps it is time i paid a tribute to my long- suffering wife who has had to put up with having an mp for a husband i must say she has been quite good about- it but being human she naturally complains once in awhile it certainly is difficult for her and the children when i am away 5 days a week and on saturdays and sundays spend a large part of my time with con stituents in the riding this has been par ticularly true lately because of the series of tax meetings i have been holding in my home every third saturday and other special ad hoc meetings which have been held in my home almost t saturday i sometimes think it is the wife and children who pay the highest price because after all when i am in ottawa i am so busy and deeply engrossed in my work that there is hardly time to worry about being away from home the children are the hardest hit of all because they really fail to un derstand why it is necessary for me to be away all the time to illustrate how they feel i recall my daughter juliana who was 7 years old at the time asking me a question she said daddy do you know what i pray for all the time and i said no julie what is it her reply was that the weekends will last 4 days so you can spend more time with us situations like this make you wonder whether anything is worth that kind of price i cant complain because i was free to decide whether to run and seek this office or not i made this decision and i do not really regret it primarily because i feel that there is an opportunity to do something very wor thwhile here in ottawa i object to those who say that as a backbencher they have very little input into government policy i am not saying that they have a big input but if they do not that is their individual problem in my own case i feel that i have something to contribute and i have yet to experience the feeling that i am wasting my time i think if i were a member of parliament under any previous ad ministration i might well be frustrated but under the present system our participation is only limited by the amount of effort we put forward snow model by
