Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Kershaw, in response to the fall economic statement, your organization commented on the strong language to support child care. In budget 2021 we've proposed a $30-billion investment over five years, with $8.3 billion ongoing to support affordable child care and early learning in Canada.
Can you share some of your thoughts on this investment and discuss the impact it could have on child care affordability in Canada? Could you also offer some comment on what it would do to labour force participation and economic growth more broadly?
