Mr. Speaker, what the government is offering Canadians is bus fare, not child care.
The initiative in Egypt aims to increase access, improve the quality, and strengthen the capacity of early childhood development in that country. Some 300,000 children could benefit and that is wonderful news.
However, these were the same objectives espoused by the former Liberal government in its child care agreements with our provinces.
Will the government now follow the very good example that it has now set in Egypt, reverse the notices of cancellation, and reinstate Canada's intergovernmental agreements with the provinces?
