Thank you, Minister.
I want to talk now about the early learning and child care investments, which are extremely important.
I was paying attention to the fall economic statement and was very pleased to hear the Minister of Finance talk about some substantial investments in a Canada-wide system. I've heard from many constituents just how important it is to have a more equitable economic recovery.
Can you speak to the specific investments in training and retention within the early child care educators space? Tell us why they are so important.
