Thank you, Chair.
My first question is for Madam Harim. Thank you for your work in the area. Thank you for sharing your story about being a mom and paying for child care. You've been there and done that. Thank goodness we are getting a national child care plan put in place.
You mentioned something about wages. I feel like we need to address the elephant in the room. Nobody is joining the sector, because the wages are low and the working conditions are really harsh. If we're going to develop a plan, we have to address this head-on.
Would you agree with me that, within the legislation, we need very clearly defined wages, benefits and working conditions? That has be part of the bill if we are going to achieve having a national child care strategy.
