Mr. Speaker, I presume the member is referring to a child care system that is universal and accessible. Those two hallmarks are extremely important in any kind of child care system.
We have proposed a national child care system that would be participatory between the federal government, the provinces and territories and those using child care service. I think that is a fair and equitable way to do it.
The hon. member who said he finds himself surprised to agree with me will want to also agree that the children of this country deserve a chance from this House.
