Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, it's a bit frustrating. I don't understand what the role of the national council is if it's not going to implement strategies and suggestions on the biggest problems we see facing child care. Also, how are you going to monitor the data if you're not making thoughtful recommendations in the strategies around the workforce?
There have been words exchanged, saying that we care about ECEs, but then you're not approving this amendment to support the recruitment and retention of a well-qualified workforce.
I'm just not sure what the role of the national council is if there's no data reporting and there are no thoughtful recommendations.
Again, it isn't adding up in terms of what the role is.
