Thank you so much.
I want to thank you, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, for being here today. Also, thank you to you and your tremendous team for the enormous work that you've done on the fall economic statement.
The first question I want to ask is about child care. For almost too long—as long as I can possibly remember—we have been talking about some sort of national child care, and we all know that women have been disproportionately impacted during this pandemic. Also, we know that the only way we are going to have a strong economy in Canada moving forward is if we have full participation in our economy.
Can you please explain what steps have been taken in the fall economic statement to address the national child care plan or to move us towards one?
