Could the member please take the earpiece behind him and move it away from the microphone? It is being picked up when he is speaking French, so we are hearing the English translation along with it. The hon. member for Vaughan—Woodbridge may continue. I am sorry for the interruption.

Mr. Chair, I would really like to thank the member for Vaughan—Woodbridge for the really good speech he just made. I am really glad that he started by highlighting child care, including talking about his family's direct experience. The fact is that our early learning and child care program is a triple win. It is a win because we have increased, and have already seen remarkable improvement in, the women's labour force participation rate, which is 85% in Canada, while it is 77% in the U.S. It is a win because it makes life more affordable for working families. It is also a win because it provides great learning for the youngest Canadians.
