Madam Chair, provinces are starting to put forward plans for people to return to work. For parents, going back to work means making sure their children are safe and cared for. This crisis has shown us how essential quality, accessible child care is to the economy. The economy doesn't work if parents don't work, and parents don't work without child care.
For far too long the government has been promising a national child care strategy, but nothing has been achieved. When will the government make parents and their children a priority?
