Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses for being here.
My first question is for Mr. Asselin.
You emphasized the importance of language clauses, using the child care agreement as an example.
I've previously discussed my personal experience here, in Manitoba, with being unable to send our children to day care, not because there was no building, but as a result of a labour shortage. The day care had a lot of trouble bringing in immigrants, even with the assistance we provided them.
We're aware of the waiting lists, the considerable demand in Manitoba and the lack of support, which is a real concern.
Would you please tell us briefly about the situation in Alberta regarding early childhood care services?
