Thank you for the question.
One thing I can speak to, perhaps, with respect to children with disabilities, is the value we are now seeing in having built a national advisory council that is reflective of the diversity of Canada, and in having, on that council, the voices of individuals who have deep experience with, and appreciation for, the challenges faced by families with children with disabilities.
Bill C-35 acknowledges that the government is committed to continuing to work in this space. This is rights-based legislation. It's reflected in the preamble of the bill as well. Its purpose is to further the progressive realization of the right to benefit from child care services, as recognized in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. That includes application to persons with disabilities.
We understand the perspective of many vulnerable communities: Child care services are difficult to access and facilities are more expensive to build, so our goal is to work very closely with provinces and territories through the bilateral agreements to ensure inclusive spaces are at the top of the list in terms of those investments as space creation continues.
