Ms. Lysack, I'm going to stay with you for a bit. I want to talk about child care and employability.
There are two ways that child care impacts employability in this country. One is providing suitable places for families to have education, development for their youngest children. The other area is in the child care spaces themselves and the people who work in those spaces.
When I look in my community, people like Sue Wolstenholme and Pat Hogan, who have worked in child care for decades, should all get the Order of Canada. They work for almost nothing. They are extraordinarily dedicated people, often going away beyond the call--not only in educating and helping to develop our children, but in other ways as well. These are the people who, in the last couple of years, saw such hope in the Liberal child care plan. One of the ways that money was going to be spent in some provinces was directly on salaries for child care workers so that we could actually provide a decent living wage for the people who help us take care of our children.
I wonder if you would talk specifically about the wages of child care workers in Canada and how the previous plan might have helped to make it a better system.
