  • Re: Bill C-35 
Mr. Speaker, my daughter Julia has an eight-month-old daughter, Mirabel, my granddaughter. She put her daughter on the list for child care before she was born, and yet she still has no prospect of getting that child care. I was very proud to see Julia and Mirabel featured on the front page of the Vancouver Sun the other day in an article about how difficult it was to get child care. Could the minister comment on the hopeful words she could give to my daughter about the prospects of getting child care and on what this bill would do for them and thousands of others across the country?

Mr. Speaker, there have been discussions among the parties and if you seek it, I hope you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: That given that entrepreneurs are the heart of the Canadian economy, creating jobs and supporting local economies and that poor program design has resulted in start-ups that opened at the beginning of the pandemic being unable to access most federal COVID supports, forcing them to struggle through the pandemic on their own while facing competition from established businesses that had access to multiple supports, the House call on the government to provide supports for these start-up businesses that have been left out of the government help as the pandemic continues.
