Thank you so much.
I appreciate the witnesses and what they've brought to us today. I am appreciative of all those suggestions. As Mr. Serré mentioned, those recommendations that you brought forward are extremely helpful. I absolutely agree that there needs to be far more recognition on this. The refundable tax credit is key in terms of equalizing the ability of people to access it.
One thing that we heard in a previous report, too, was that ease of accessibility and the need for a simplified process for access to supports and all the benefits through CRA and so on. Hearing that again is really key, and I'd like to make sure that it's in the report that we put forward for this study.
You mentioned affordable child care, which I'm a huge advocate for, the availability of a universal affordable child care program—of course with the recognition that Quebec already has much of that in place with respect to the province of Quebec—and ensuring that it is provided nationwide. What we've put forward is the idea that there needs to be a legislated act, similar to the Canada Health Act, so that the availability of universal affordable child care is put forward.
With respect to Quebec, and obviously ensuring that it receives funding and so on separately, would you support that legislated act?
