Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Social Development.
We now have a commitment in the throne speech to a national child care program. This is a benchmark after years of promises by Conservatives and Liberals in election campaigns. I just crossed the country meeting with and listening to the child care community. There is great expectation out there.
Can the minister assure us that this new program will be enshrined in legislation, and be publicly funded and publicly delivered?
