Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you very much for the wonderful information that you've provided.
I'd like to start with Ms. King and with Ms. Lysack. I was quite intrigued by the information you provided. You said that in Quebec, which has a very excellent universal, regulated child care program, we've seen a reduction in child poverty, and that there is a return on the investment in terms of what the government has invested.
I was doing some other research and I found data that said that for every $1 invested in child care, between $2 and $17 is returned to the community. Children at risk benefit greatly from the investment. Ultimately, it has a cost benefit to the entire community. It's like our health care system; it provides a profound and noticeable benefit.
I wonder if you could just expand on that. I was quite interested in it.
