Thank you, Madam Chair.

I will be splitting my time with the member for Timmins—James Bay.

Schools in many provinces remain closed, and many child care providers want to reopen. They must reduce their capacity due to COVID-19. Now more than ever we need universal, publicly funded child care to restart the economy.

Will the government bring in legislation that would enshrine into law access to, and federal funding for, quality affordable child care?
