Thank you.
I really appreciated all the presentations. I know we will have to have you back. I think you all are groups with solutions, and you are certainly going help us at this critical time we've reached.
I have a couple of questions. You spoke--I think it was Michael--about chapter 7 and the slowness of the implementation. Do you have any cost analysis of that? I'm thinking that it varies from province to province. Would you have what that costs our economy in dollars or in some means?
I'm going to ask them really quickly, and then I'll sit back.
The other comment made was about encouraging businesses.... I really don't want to bring this into the debate. I only want you to go home, think about it, and come back next fall and tell me what you think. Right now there are reports out that women aren't going into the workforce because they don't have child care. I'm of the mind that it is time for businesses to step up to the plate and bring in child care spaces for their companies or businesses. So you're not going to look for some central location in downtown Toronto, or downtown here; if you work at an auto dealership, if you work at an apartment or somewhere downtown, or anywhere, the child will be close to the parents.
I want you to think about that, about encouraging that. I think that's an encouragement for businesses. So I'd really like you to think about that, because I don't want to get into any sort of child care debate right now.
The cost analysis in chapter 7 would be enough, thanks.
