Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development was asked to update the House on child care spaces in Manitoba. The minister then proceeded to mislead the House on the government's role in a provincial announcement to create 6,500 child care spaces in that province. The fact is that there was absolutely no federal support.
Minister Mackintosh actually said:
Despite this year’s loss of a strong federal commitment to child care, we must now regain momentum.
Will the minister do the right thing and stand up and apologize for misleading the House?
