I'm not a child care person. I work for a broader feminist organization. One of the things we have seen that are somewhat problematic in those federal-provincial agreements on child care has been that they have not always extended those child care benefits to women in receipt of social assistance, who really do need access to child care, and affordable child car, obviously. If they're going to leave welfare and get into paid employment, child care would be essential.
