Madam Speaker, my colleague across the way knows well that I am happy to talk about child care all day long.
Bill C-35 is really legislation that encompasses the agreements that have already been put in place. If we look province by province, much work was done to identify and register a wide array of child care. While, yes, there are caps on private, there is private child care that has been grandfathered in Ontario, but the idea is to create more spaces, because the market demand for spaces is there. Each province gave us a list of how many spaces it needs, and the partnership with the federal government is to commit the funds to build those spaces. I was just in Manitoba announcing $70 million for rural spaces.
I would ask the member this. Does she not understand that this is really a set of agreements under this legislation so that we continue to work together with provinces and families?
