Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to the witnesses.
This was mentioned briefly in the witness testimony, but I would like to go back. We've certainly heard about how the provision of child care and a national system of child care would consistently help women across the board, whether they're working or they are women entrepreneurs. Specifically for entrepreneurs, I know you've also talked about the great deal of stress they've had. We've heard about the stress of running a business, absolutely, but also about juxtaposing that with the stresses of the family and caregiving, both for children and also elderly family members, and how that falls specifically on women.
I'd like to hear from both of you about how the provision of a national affordable universal child care program could help those women who run those businesses so that they have the stability of that program.
