Thank you so much.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for speaking with us today. You shared some very valuable information and thoughts.
Historically, the caregiving role that women have had has obviously impacted their accessibility to more options for employment. We've heard that female jobs are devalued and a lot of women's work is unpaid and invisible. Publicly funded child care was an option that you have both presented, and we've heard it often.
We've also heard often that there are some cultures that don't want to send their children to publicly funded care centres. What kinds of ways could the federal government assist in providing those kinds of options for families where culturally they would rather have family members, like grandparents, take care of their children?
