Thank you to the member for their comments on the debate. I’ve been hearing more of a trend with respect to before- and after-school programs, and the member talked about the schools and education. What’s been happening is kids—in particular in my constituency, parents have come to me and we’ve met. Their children need special services and there’s a lack of workers and therefore they’re not able to help in that child care before and after school. I know how importantly the government wants to make sure that people have jobs and this is what’s happening. These parents are going to have to decide if someone has to stay home to look after their child because their grandparents aren’t able to help. As the member mentioned many times, that’s the case for families.

What is this government doing about before- and after-school child care programs to make sure that there are workers there when kids need that special needs care in those schools?
