Madam Speaker, the part of my colleague's speech that caught my attention was the part on child care. I had my daughter in 1999, when I was a student, and child care cost $20 a day. As a student, I can assure you that in 1999 that was a lot of money. I very much welcomed the creation of the national child care service in Quebec shortly thereafter. It is a Quebec program and a provincial jurisdiction for the other Canadian provinces.
What does my colleague think of the idea of allowing women to return to work or to school and other women to have a job, which would help the national and provincial economies, while also respecting provincial jurisdictions?
