Mr. Speaker, under the current Liberal child care scheme, the money promised will only increase the number of regulated child care spaces from 7% to 10%. That does not even begin to scratch the surface of child care needs in this country. It would cost $10 billion a year to fund this program for every child that needs it.
A plan that only helps some children, some parents and some communities is not fair. Could the minister explain how his plan will pay for the other $9 billion this year needed for child care in this country?
