Thank you.

I would strongly disagree because, right now, we have 200,000 children just in Ontario alone who are on that wait-list.

Ms. Gosselin, I think the Quebec model is a wonderful way for us to understand what we can do better moving forward. There are still 70,000 children on a waiting list to access child care. What can we do with this bill to ensure that we don't have that same wait-list so that people aren't left out in the cold, so that they have access to quality, affordable child care?
