Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have failed to deliver on their $10-a-day child care by allowing provinces to continue to pay child care workers inadequate wages, causing labour shortages and long wait-lists for families. A recent report by the Centre for Future Work has said that $10-a-day child care improves affordability for families and has allowed more women to return to work. What is stalling it? The Liberals will not put in place a workforce strategy. Will the government answer people's calls, put in place a workforce strategy and give child care centres and workers the support they need?
