Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present two petitions on behalf of many residents of the city of Winnipeg.
Both petitions call upon the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development to honour the early learning and child care agreement signed with the Province of Manitoba. To not move forward with this agreement would have profound implications for children in the province of Manitoba: 1,600 spaces lost in the city of Winnipeg, 700 in rural Manitoba and over 60 in northern Manitoba. This would have a profound impact on families in the city of Winnipeg.
I am pleased to table this petition.
