Thank you, Chair.
Good morning, everyone.
First I want to thank MP Motz for the invitation to this wonderful city. You have a great MP there, very passionate, and I have a lot of respect for him.
I have so many questions. I want to start with Ms. Weeks.
It's really not on housing but on early learning. It's about how in Saint John, New Brunswick, we're coming up with an early learning pilot called Learning Together, whereby we're going to propose that we go into priority neighbourhoods in Saint John, where there is 60% to 65% child poverty, and come up with an early learning concept with the schools.
How important do you think it would be, from a federal government perspective, to come up with a national early learning program offering structured early learning for three- and four-year-olds across the country?
