Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Cumberland—Colchester for raising this important issue.
Child care should not be a luxury, it should be something everyone can afford. That is why budget 2021 commits up to $30 billion over five years to build a Canada-wide child care system. This plan aims to cut fees by 50% by the end of next year, and in five years, we aim to reach an average of $10-a-day day care right across the country.
We look forward to working with all the provinces and territories to ensure all Canadians have access to early learning and child care.
