Wow, there's a bunch of stuff there.
I don't know what to do immediately about the lost generation. We're looking at numbers that we have never seen before. About half of Canadians aged 25 to 34 have lost more than half of their income. They have to get back into the workforce. The great news is that there's plenty of work to be done in our communities. There's no reason for us not to put them back to work. We need this stuff done. We could be creating opportunities.
I think the bigger story, from my perspective, is understanding that child care is actually a triple weapon in our war in the recovery: It helps women get back to work when they have a job; it is a form of employment; and done properly, it provides the ability for every single child to be learning-ready when they enter the school system and for us to make sure that they're supported. As I noted in the presentation that I just did for HUMA, which I hope you have an opportunity to look at, it literally pays for itself. We're literally leaving money on the table by not expanding access to child care dramatically throughout the system and having the federal government pay for it. You'll see in my comments why I think the federal government should be taking the lead at this time.
Thank you very much for your really tough questions.
