Thanks. I appreciate that question.
Again, I think it's really a reflection of the limitations we have in federal jurisdiction. In paragraph 7(1)(d) and its focus on quality, we are looking, on the one hand, to reflect the vital importance of the ECE workforce in contributing to that quality care without, on the other hand, stepping on provincial and territorial jurisdiction, which is what we would be doing if we attempted to be more prescriptive with respect to specific wages.
Where we can get into a little bit more specificity is in the bilateral agreements. That's where we see, with provinces and territories, commitments to the development of things like wage grids, wage floors and real investments that, as I mentioned earlier, we believe we will see improving over time.
The focus really in the first few years of the bilateral agreements has been on access and affordability. I think we will see space created for greater investments on the workforce in the coming year. Certainly the work that we're doing now with the federal-provincial-territorial forum of ministers most responsible for early learning and child care, as well as with the national advisory council, is to really dig in on the challenges in the workforce space.
