Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
Thousands of people are demonstrating today across Ontario because of the intention of the provincial government to cut child care services and subsidies.
In our red book there is a promise calling for the creation of 50,000 new child care spaces each year following a year of 3 per cent economic growth.
Does the government intend to address this acute social need and alleviate a crucial problem faced by so many Canadians?
