Thank you.
My next question is for Ms. Watts.
Thank you for your submission today.
Towards the end of your submission, you stated that the future of our country depends on the strength of our families. As you all know, the Liberal Party recently released The Pink Book, Volume III: An Action Plan for Canadian Women, which includes the promise to create a multi-billion-dollar national child care program. We have heard from a few organizations that have also made this same recommendation, but I have to admit that as a mother of four children who chose to stay home, I was thankful for the tax measures that were there that allowed me to have that choice. I did appreciate the fact that your presentation brought a balance to the discussion for choice.
What I wanted you to do was comment on a multi-billion-dollar national child care program and how that might also fit with your second recommendation for the universal child care benefit and the increase of that benefit.
