Thank you. There are other times when they are technically not there. That is what you're saying. I appreciate that.
I have a couple of questions for Ms. Bisnath.
You mentioned, of course, that there's such a need for child care. I'll give you a couple of quick examples.
I was talking to someone in my community. There are two doctors who are looking to move to Canada, and they're going through all the immigration processes and they're almost at the end, but they're considering not moving because they've realized that there are no child care spaces available when they move here. One other example I'll give is a child care operator in my riding expressing frustration on how governments have, and I'm going to quote her exactly here, “shown a total lack of responsibility for removing roadblocks in certifying educators, retraining them and licensing facilities”, causing further backlogs.
We know that the government has said that there's a need to hire 40,000 new child care workers across Canada in the next three years to meet their targets. To meet this demand, various streams will have to be used. There's schooling and training, and there's immigration, and all of those things take time.
Based on your experience, do you see this as being feasible to achieve with the current actions that are being taken?
