It is precisely why this proposal is interesting. It brings back this idea that a large part of the economic activity has no value added. For example, speculation makes a few individuals wealthy while bringing about no real benefit for society.
I would like to address a brief question to Mr. Giesbrecht. You are asking for a national framework of standards and accountability for the federal child care program. Obviously, the Bloc Québécois has always been against the federal government establishing standards for programs that are within provincial jurisdiction, at least in Quebec. Indeed, some solutions are being brought forward. For example, the NDP has recently introduced a bill on child care services including an opting out provision for Quebec. Students who want a national act on education are prepared to accept that Quebec be allowed to opt out and make its own choices.
If the federal government were to establish a national framework of standards and accountability, would you agree that Quebec be exempt from it?
