Thanks, Madam Gladu, and thanks, Madam Chair.
Thanks very much, Minister, for being here today. I'll try to keep this tight, because I know we're short on time.
I know how critical child care is to our economy. I think of it as an economy-enabling infrastructure. This is a priority for our government, and of course for your department, when we think about women's economic security.
Could you tell us how your department is working on supporting women through entrepreneurship, etc., and helping women enter and remain in the workforce? We have great child care in my riding in particular. We have great multiservice agencies delivering this work, from St. Stephen's Community House to WoodGreen Community Services. We have great examples of how we can support women on that side, but I'd love to hear more.
