Mr. Speaker, as my hon. colleague may or may not know, I come from a very rural riding. Its land mass is bigger than Switzerland, and it has over 200 small communities. A rural lens does need to be put on this.
In my province of Newfoundland, there is supplemented day care, but it is not reaching farther afield into the really rural communities. That is where it needs to be, and working with the provinces and territories, we will develop a plan that provides choices for individuals and families to best meet their needs when coming up with a child care program.
We have heard a lot about this at the FEWO committee. For the plan, we need to work with all provinces, territories and municipalities and take into consideration cultural differences and, of course, the impacts of being in really rural and remote areas and urban centres.
