Thank you.
That's a perfect segue on the basis of care workers. I have a question for Ms. Higgins.
Thank you so much for your articulate testimony. I want to ask you a quick question about investments in early learning and child care across Canada. One of the chief complaints that opponents of investments of this nature have is the immense cost. There is no question that it is expensive to establish a proper national early learning and child care system.
In your view, and in the experience of jurisdictions that have implemented such a system, have you actually found that the increased revenue for more women taking part in the workforce, which you refer to in your testimony, is sufficient to cover the cost of that upfront investment?
