Madam Speaker, the member is absolutely right and that is my concern. That is why we are not standing here today saying we are supporting this legislation. Unless the minister is willing to sit down with us and perhaps with others and talk with us about how this child care program is actually going to be a national program because it is not at the moment. It is still as patchwork as what we had before. It is one-offs now and bilateral agreements.
We were happy with the initial first two agreements because of some of the framework that they actually had in place, but we need federal legislation to ensure that what flows out the door from here under the guise of a national child care program is rooted in the principles, is delivered by a not for profit system, and that the federal government will be there at the end of the day with the kind of money that is going to be required to support that.
