Madam Speaker, I would refer Canadians to the content of my speech. If I could refer back to my experience in British Columbia, we have had a price on pollution since 2008. We have had the fastest growing economy in the country. Our plan actually makes life more affordable for 80% of Canadian households. It is a good plan that fights climate change and grows the economy at the same time.

Mr. Speaker, the pan-Canadian early learning and child care system is up and running from coast to coast to coast with all provinces onside. In British Columbia, parents would be able to work, contribute to the economy and make life more affordable for themselves, thanks to our federal government's investment in child care. Could the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development update the House on the progress being made to date in my home province of British Columbia?

Mr. Speaker, it would be my pleasure to provide the House with that update. First, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for her tremendous years of advocacy on this issue. I was in Vancouver and Burnaby last Friday with the provincial government to announce of doubling of $10-a-day spaces in British Columbia, as well as savings of up to 50% by this December for families in registered child care. That is up to $6,600 a year for families in British Columbia. That is making a real difference in their lives. I am excited about working with British Columbia and supporting families.
