Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today.
The first question I have is for Ms. Gawlick. We have heard from the government that they estimate we'll need to hire 40,000 new child care workers across Canada in the next three years. This doesn't even take into account waiting lists and potential retirements. I know that staffing is mentioned in your organization's brief as well, which you submitted to this committee. To meet this demand, various streams will have to be used, whether it's post-secondary training or immigration. All of those take time.
From your expertise, do you see this as feasible within less than three years, based on the current actions that have been taken so far?
