Mr. Speaker, in 1970, a national child care system was recommended by the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada. Moving forward to 1993, the Liberals, in their platform, promised a national child care strategy. We have now been waiting 28 years for something that has been called for by child care workers across the country.
How critical is it for the Liberal government to address this matter if we truly are going to honour the “she-covery” everybody is calling for?
