Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate you coming forward outlining the parameters of this program.
Having just recently crossed over the age of 40, I thought maybe it's just a little too late for me to get any benefit out of this, but the reality is that for every dollar invested, it's $1.51 to $2.80 that's being returned to the economy. My point here is that you don't need to have children to benefit from this program. It strengthens the economy overall. I'm glad to see this bill go forward. I'm eager to see this go forward and I'm eager to see this embedded in legislation. I'm glad that this bill is before this committee.
During debate, some members criticized this bill for lacking detail on implementation. Our understanding is that the conditions and the targets are set in the bilateral agreements, which this legislation reinforces. Could you please confirm whether this is correct and explain how exactly the system is being operationalized?
