When we looked at our programs, we identified what the barriers were. Madam Chair, the committee has identified some of these as well. One barrier that had a particular effect on immigrant women was that they couldn't come to language training or other settlement services because they were busy providing child care. The provision of childminding services in conjunction with the other settlement services lets a greater proportion of immigrant women come in and avail themselves of those services.
