Mr. Speaker, knowing that one in two Canadians will reach retirement age in 10 years, we need Canada's entire labour force in the labour market, including women. As Quebec has proven for a number of years, access to affordable educational child care services is an important incentive for young parents to return to the labour market with peace of mind. That is why our government is committed to building a Canada-wide early learning and child care system. These $10-a-day child care services provide parents with high-quality, flexible, inclusive and affordable child care. Children can develop their social and cognitive skills to boost their success in school later on. The system is a winning investment for our children and for our economic growth. Would the Conservatives put a stop to child care funding in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada? No, Mr. Speaker, we will not go back to the Stone Age.
