All I know is what the federal government received from the provinces and territories. I can highlight what Statistics Canada would tell you. In 2021, there were 2.2 million children aged five years and under, and more than half of them were in child care. That was at an average cost of over $30 a day. The fact that 112,000 spots have been created, which is less than half of the target, is why I raised the risk that filling the 250,000 spots or creating those spots might be very difficult to achieve.
