I want to thank all of you for your testimony today.
My first question is to the First Nations Women's Council on Economic Security. In your testimony, Ms. Lee, you mentioned the dilemma in terms of not only getting a career but also career advancement because of child care, as well as the on-reserve and off-reserve opportunities.
I know there are head start programs and other early learning programs, but could you tell us a little about what existing programs there are and what is working in those programs? Also, where the gaps are, on reserve or off reserve. My understanding is that there seems to be a concern that as soon as a woman goes off reserve she loses some of that early learning and child care funding.
What is working well and what would we need to do to improve that?
