Thank you so much for that.
I think what we want here, as a lot of us have said, is to make this as non-partisan as possible. Child care shouldn't be a partisan issue. We want access, and that is the pillar of this bill.
I'm still not seeing the data. If we look at these messages, we see the following: “Even after-school care, my daughter has been on a wait-list for almost three years, and we still haven't gotten a space yet.” There's another message from Katie that says, “My son has been on a wait-list for two and a half years.”
I guess what I'm asking for is how we incentivize and not divide. This is for you, Ms. Ballantyne: How do we not divide the two sectors? They're both very important in providing that quality child care and access that we desperately need to reduce these wait-lists.
