As I said, our campaign is made up of a number of individuals who have signed on to the campaign demands. One of the demands of the campaign from the outset has been federal legislation that addresses early learning and child care. We have 100,000 individuals who have signed on to those demands from across the country. We also have a number of organizations; we estimate that about three million individuals are represented through those organizations.
Code Blue has done some polling on the subject, and there is absolutely no question that there is very strong widespread support from individuals of all income levels and of both genders, both in the paid workforce and outside the paid workforce, who actually support putting in place a system of early learning and child care.
The other thing to note is that when that system was put in place in Quebec, it is widely known that it was the most popular thing a government has ever done. It's what people want government to do: to intervene in a way that individuals can't. You can have as much money individually, but that doesn't create access to spaces. That doesn't create spaces. It doesn't create a system, and that's what Canadians want. Certainly that is our understanding, and that comes from polling, which is a little bit more scientific, but it also comes from the numerous letters.
I was copied in at least 250 or 260 letters to each of you supporting this legislation. I'm not sure how that compares. When you study a bill, I don't know if you hear from that many Canadians who are actually paying attention to what Parliament is doing. I think there is widespread support.
