I'll just stay with you, if you don't mind. Could you give me your thoughts on how effective you think a national early learning strategy would be?

I think in Germany they start as early as two years old. Could you give me your thoughts on a national early learning strategy for three- and four-year-olds? It would obviously have to be tailored specifically to each province, but how important do you think early learning is to breaking the cycle of poverty?
