Thank you, Ms. Zarrillo.
I share your passion for reducing poverty amongst children in Canada. It's one of the reasons I'm so proud of our government for bringing forward the Canada child benefit. It has had such a dramatic impact on reducing child poverty rates in this country.
I'm also really proud about the $30 billion that we've invested into early learning and child care. We know—and I've heard from so many women across this country—that when child care fees were as expensive as they were just a year ago, it meant that so many women couldn't enter the workforce. I've heard from women in every province and territory who have said that, because of the child care fee reductions, they can go back into the workforce for the first time, earn a living and support their families in a way that just wasn't possible before. I think that's a really exciting initiative.
Then, of course, there are lots of lessons to be drawn from the pandemic in terms of how we can have a more fair and more equitable society. I think those are being analyzed right now
