Mr. Speaker, speaking of affordability, I know how it felt to pay over $2,000 a month for child care when I was raising my two young kids.
The good news is that, today, families are saving over $16,000 per year thanks to the affordable child care that our government put in place. Our national early learning child care is also about giving families more choice. This is empowering parents, especially mothers, who can choose to go to work and who can choose to run their business. This is helping them contribute to our economy and is building Canada strong.
