That is right, and I am proud of it. I was the minister responsible for the status of women. I too was able to see how rigid the Canada Assistance Plan is; we had to scrape around to find enough money to create day care centres. As you know, Mr. Speaker, daycare is for children under five and child care for children over five.
The Canada Assistance Plan paid 50 per cent of day care expenses, but not private day care expenses-we had plenty of these establishments in Quebec-or child care services provided by schools to prevent children from dropping out.
