What we foresaw in our province, Prince Edward Island, was going to greatly improve the existing early childhood system; it was going to improve access to services for the youngest children; it was going to increase funding for early childhood services so that more children could receive them.
Right now there's a major deficiency: there's no service for children from zero to 22 months. According to the model developed in our province, during the five years of the program's lifetime, we were going to be able to add more services as we went along.
Consequently, these cuts have really hurt our development with regard to French-language services provided in early childhood. We've been greatly disappointed.
