Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister. On Saturday, between 5,000 and 10,000 women and men came to Parliament Hill to demand that the government fulfil the commitments it made during the last election campaign, including the provision of day care services and the creation of jobs. The Bloc Quebecois met with women's groups this morning, and it shares their concerns.
Given that the federal budget for day care services went, without any explanation, from $630 million down to $250 million, will the Prime Minister tell us what he did with the money that is missing and when he will give back to the children, through the provinces of course, all the money owed to them?
