No, but I will make sure that I table this, so that all members of our committee can see this great initiative that was done by Code Blue and organizations such as the Child Care Advocacy Association and others.
I think all of us really feel the pain that the provinces have in terms of the fact that they were left in disarray, and parents were left scrambling to find child care spaces.
Today we realize the importance of this bill, due to the fact that the early learning and child care agreements were cancelled by the Prime Minister.
One of the unfortunate parts about the bill that we're discussing and is before us today is that even though the NDP brought it forward, it requires a royal recommendation.
We always say that hindsight is 20:20. I don't think the NDP realized when they formed a coalition with the Conservatives to defeat the Liberals that the first act of the Prime Minister would be to have this particular important piece of legislation ripped to shreds, and there would be a completely different approach.
So going on to some of the questioning, I want to find out from the Region of Peel in particular.... You spoke about the struggle that parents are facing—especially in Peel, I think—which is so indicative of many of our constituencies across the country. It is multilingual, multi-ethnic. There is a combination of urban and rural as well, in terms of the demographics.
How many parents are waiting to enroll their children in some of the spaces? What is the wait list like?
