Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses here. It's great testimony that will help us ensure that we are putting forth the best possible solutions for the welfare of our children.
Krystal, if I may call you that, I want to touch on something that we've heard from the minister repeatedly. If you were watching the exchange prior to this, I was really trying to push to have the language of the bill changed to include these independently owned businesses and licensed home day cares. The minister has said that the licensed private day cares are included in the bill. She's pretty adamant about that.
How do you reconcile that? If they're included, why is there such suffering in your industry of these women entrepreneur home-based child cares?
