Mr. Speaker, the minister should actually be embarrassed for parroting those canned lines from the PMO. The truth is that the Conservatives are taking away spaces and taking away money from Canadian families and Canadian parents.
The Conservative government has been busy cutting important social programs, despite inheriting one of the best surpluses from the previous Liberal government.
Given that the NDP has already betrayed Canadians by trading our national child care program for 10 more seats, Canadians are counting on the Liberal Party to ensure that we protect child care in this country.
Will the minister tell the House if the Conservative government will deliver and guarantee the $100 million--
