Thank you so much, Chair.
My first question is for Madam Ballantyne.
We've heard a lot in committee today about the crisis in the child care sector and about expanding it.
We know that the key crisis in the sector has to do with the workforce. That's making it difficult to create the new spaces that are needed to meet the demand to bring down some of the wait-lists that we're talking about. It's one thing to build spaces, but we need trained workers to staff them. What is causing this crisis and how can the federal government help fix it?
