Thanks to our government's commitment through the national early learning and child care program, we have child care as low as $10 a day. We've heard time and time again from women's organizations that this support is vitally needed. Women who want to start a business or want to pursue their career can now get access to that because of affordable child care. In terms of savings, we're looking at $6,200 per year that an average family can save because of the national early learning and child care program. This absolutely matters. It creates an environment in which Canadians can participate fully.
With regard to the entrepreneurs that the member was asking about, through our women entrepreneurship strategy we've already supported 500,000 women across the country to start, scale and grow their businesses. I've met many who continue to inspire me every day.
Again, we'll continue to do everything we can to make sure that women in this country, through Women and Gender Equality, through our women's program and through leadership opportunities, can contribute and grow. I have a daughter. She's 11 years old. It's just amazing to see all the opportunities she now has thanks to our government's commitments to gender equality.
