Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for your presentation. All of you were very good.
It's not an easy area to solve, because it's very broad and many different pieces affect it. You have women's economic security, and I think we all agree with that, just from the three who have presented today.
I want to start off with Ms. Oliver, with respect to the RPN part-time work. One of the reasons that were given when the agreement with the provinces on our child care was dropped was that we needed a system that gave everybody choice, so that women who worked nights or days or shifts could then choose where they liked to put their money. This is why we have the $1,200, which is taxable, as you know, and it doesn't create spaces at all. No spaces have been created since.
Can you tell me a little bit about the reality? You mentioned the dire need for child care, but can you address the part-time aspect of it specifically and what structure would help in that context, keeping in mind that when the national government funds child care, as we did under the agreement we had before with the provinces, we don't dictate how to deliver; it's more or less a broad objective.
