It's not so much a national program as it is continuing down the path that I think the federal government has already started, to execute bilateral, but starting with a multilateral framework, which outlines the principles and policies of federal investment, then work on provincial and territorial and with indigenous communities to create bilateral agreements. I think it is very hard in a country as vast as Canada, given the fact that child care is a provincial and territorial responsibility, to enact something that everybody will agree to across this country. At the same time, a strong policy framework and more enhanced investment than what is happening right now certainly would be two ways to keep going forward.
