Madam Speaker, this throne speech is really shallow. After an election that cost over $600 million and a message to Canadians that a new mandate was needed, it seemed to be missing a lot. It missed getting pharmacare to communities and Canadians. It does little to address labour shortages, equity for persons with disabilities and equity for first nations, Métis and Inuit people.
I share with the member who gave the speech tonight his feelings on five-dollar day care. Both of us benefited from it with our children. I am sure both of us agree on day care, but we certainly agree that this speech is empty.
Would the member support some more push around the labour shortages, especially in our care economy, including for day care and health care transfers to the provinces?
