From the official Discover Canada study guide — 1.4.2 Taking Responsibility for Yourself and Your Family:
Canadians are expected to look after themselves and the people at home. That means finding a job, caring for your family, and working hard according to your own abilities. These count as important Canadian values, not just private choices. Work matters for two reasons. First, it gives a person dignity and self-respect. Second, it adds to the prosperity of the whole country. A citizen who supports a family is doing something valuable for Canada as well as for the household.
