Thank you so much, Chair.
I'm going to go back to the decent work and working conditions.
As was previously mentioned, 95% of the workforce are women. I'm always conscious of the discrimination that women face—especially immigrant women—every day in the workforce. I just want to go back to paragraph 7(1)(d) with regard to this idea of the workforce.
Ms. Lattimore, maybe you could share some of the discussions that happened around the language of “qualified and well-supported early childhood education workforce”. Why wasn't it stronger or more explicit in mentioning fair wages and working conditions?
We know that marginalized groups need this protection. I want to get an understanding of why the language is may be a little less explicit than it could be.
