Madam Speaker, it is important we recognize a lot of the good things that have been done across provinces, but it is not just children who need support with dental care. Everybody needs that support. Certainly, seniors in her riding I am sure need that support as well.

Mr. Speaker, child care is important. That is why we were the first government to actually send money directly to parents for children. That was back under former prime minister Harper. While $10-a-day child care sounds like a great idea, the problem is about how many spots and access people have to them; there are not very many. There are also lots of people who do not want to put their children into institutional child care. They want to take care of the children themselves or they want to put them into a family member's home or a neighbour's home. To me this is so exclusionary. It is only open to a very small number of people. It is just not going to help enough.

Mr. Speaker, over the past few days, we have witnessed the largest public service strike in over 40 years. Canadians are suffering because of the Liberal government's incompetence. More than 1,100 students are locked out of school on the Six Nations of the Grand River because of this strike. Education is an essential service. It is unacceptable that children cannot go to school because of this strike. The Liberal government is to blame. What is the Prime Minister going to do to ensure that indigenous children can go back to school?
