I would agree with you. The NDP has been really pushing hard for liveable wages and benefits for workers. I mention it often because I'm so proud as a former early childhood educator. I might have stayed in the field and not pursued a teaching career, ending up at the university. I enjoyed it so much, but I wasn't willing to live in poverty, so I left the field as a young woman.
My last question is for you, Mr. Fortin. I know you've done tremendous work in the field and I want to commend you for all of your research and efforts.
Your submission to the committee states that research literature unanimously concluded that quality of childhood was the highest in non-profit CPEs. You also mentioned it again today. It's the lowest in private for-profit centres.
Could you expand on this briefly, and maybe suggest ways in which you believe this legislation could be strengthened to better safeguard affordable, accessible, universal and high-quality child care?
Thank you, Mr. Fortin.
