Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on the birth of his baby girl on January 18, a little Capricorn who will be quite a character, I am sure.
Anyone thinking about child care will look to Quebec's example. Its system has been in place for 25 years. Early learning is essential, and that goes for all children, whether they are Quebeckers or Canadians.
I know that the provinces already have child care set up by the government, but that is not the case everywhere in Canada.
Why does the Conservative Party get all up in arms about the Quebec model and say it is not equitable?
