Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present another petition from the people of my community who are very concerned about the Conservative government plan to kill child care in Canada. They say among other things that 70% of women with children under the age of six are employed. A taxable $100 a month allowance amounts only to a child benefit and will not establish new child care spaces. Child care is an everyday necessity.
They call upon the Prime Minister to honour the early learning and child care agreement in principle and to commit to fund it for a full five years.
