oh give me a break... What if you don't *HAVE* a family?
I don't have any statistics, but on average, people who don't end
up marrying and having kids only spend about 18 years as part of
a family unit (they grow up, and move out). What percentage of people
actually end up having a family? I dunno, but then they end up having
an extra 20 or so years of raising their kids, and then it's back to
living in a household with only a wife, no kids...
I'd imagine that at any instant in time, less than half of the population
of canada is in a "family unit"...

And why can't the family organize a family day on its own?
We don't need laws to defend people's right for a pursuit of
"quality time with the kids"...
