Mr. Chair, I would really like to thank the member for Vaughan—Woodbridge for the really good speech he just made. I am really glad that he started by highlighting child care, including talking about his family's direct experience.
The fact is that our early learning and child care program is a triple win. It is a win because we have increased, and have already seen remarkable improvement in, the women's labour force participation rate, which is 85% in Canada, while it is 77% in the U.S. It is a win because it makes life more affordable for working families. It is also a win because it provides great learning for the youngest Canadians.
