My first question is about the early learning and child care system. I do have an interest in this. When I was minister of education and early childhood development in Newfoundland, we reached an agreement with the federal government.
You raised a concern about whether or not the number of spaces can be created in the next two years. Just from personal experience, I know we went to $10 a day in Newfoundland and Labrador. That created not only the success of the program, but the challenge that, because it was more affordable, more people were signing up, which created a longer wait-list.
We also exponentially increased the number of seats available in training institutions for early childhood educators. It's a two-year program. You can't knit an early childhood educator overnight. Catching up with the number of educators required takes time. I checked back recently with the province. They've seen a huge increase in graduates, and that is expected to continue.
Did you look at that aspect when you raised concerns over the number of spaces that would be created over the next two years?
