I want to tell you that as far as lone-parent families go, child care is a really important issue. In many of our communities, and I've heard this right across our homeland, it's advisable that if you're planning to have children, prior to even getting pregnant you should put your name into a day care so that you can have a day care spot when your child is 18 months old. So you're basically looking at a three-year wait to get your child into day care in several of our provinces.
So child care is important, but for lone-parent families, I also want to tell you that child care is only a small component of it, because we've always gone to work and stuff. There need to be other supports in place. I told you 69% of Métis people live in urban centres, and they've moved away from what our cultural communities were. So they lose their culture and their connectedness. Grandma doesn't live next door any more. We need to make sure that there are supports for lone parents.
