Thank you.

I'd like to lean in a bit more in terms of ECE workers and the pay model. There's been much discussion about wage grids. Each province submitted one in terms of their agreement. This is sort of the last piercing of the debate that ECEs in the for-profit sector would be paid better or that there would be wage respect that currently.... There is much advocacy on that in terms of enhancing the wages of ECEs, but does the evidence show that a for-profit would pay better than the not-for-profits, or is it the inverse?
