First, I want to say that I actually agree with much of what you have said. Your approach in welcoming healthy debate about public policy is what makes the democracy of Canada so great. Organizations like ours need to continue to have a voice to raise those issues. The fact that we differ in some areas is a healthy thing, because that's how we get to better solutions. We disagreed vehemently with some of the things the previous government was doing as well.
There is a large misunderstanding about nationally run day care. I don't think anyone has promoted the idea of nationally run day care. I'm a former member of the Government of Saskatchewan and negotiated agreements like the ECD agreement and the multilateral framework agreement. It's absolutely an issue of provincial jurisdiction and needs to be recognized that way. That approach supported a transfer but, within this great federation, some equality of service across the country despite those regional differences.
