As I mentioned previously, there is a recognition in the bilateral agreement that while the priority is not-for-profit child care and the expansion of public child care in Canada, there is a recognition that provinces and territories all have different approaches, and that the for-profit and private sector do play a role in some provinces and territories. Through the long-term funding that is promised under the agreements, there are mechanisms available to ensure that all parents who are making use of licensed child care facilities, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, can have access to service under the Canada-wide system, and there are mechanisms built into our bilateral agreements to ensure there is space for profit where that is reasonable.
