Yes, sure. I too was sitting in this chair 32 years ago when I had just become a parent for the first time. I'm a grandmother, and here we are still addressing the same problems. It's frustrating.
We will see what happens in Ontario but I think it's going to be very instructive to the federal government and to Parliament because the bilateral agreements were signed. They set out certain commitments and there's every indication that the new Government of Ontario will walk away from those commitments.
It's going to be very interesting to see what the federal government does in that case. We're already starting to see that the provincial government intends to use the federal government to replace spending that it would otherwise have made. That is what I mean about taking steps backwards.
There's nothing in the multilateral framework agreement that makes a firm commitment to expansion in the not-for-profit sector, and we're not happy with that.
The fear is that there's going to be public money without restrictions on how that money is spent. We're very nervous about large corporate child care chains from outside Canada—for the most part they're all outside Canada—moving in. It's not the small, what we call the mom-and-pop operations that we're nervous about. They're doing the best they can. Once the chains comes in, we know how they operate. We saw it in Australia. We've seen it in other economies.
