Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the minister for being here with us, and thank you for your leadership.
My first question is regarding child care. For far too long, Canadians, women, have been calling for national child care. If we're looking to ensure full participation, or at least maximum participation, of our women, and indeed any parent with children, we need access to affordable, accessible child care.
How does Bill C-14 and the fall economic statement address this issue?
