Absolutely, Madam Chair. If you look at the third bullet, it is: amend our income assistance and housing programs to allow for delivery of licensed childcare programs. The reason I am insistent on licence within that is because there is money with having licensed childcare. There is quality control with having licensed childcare. People on income support and in housing programs too often are forced because of government red tape, government policies that aren't people-friendly, that say you have to hide if you want to have an extra income, if you want to support your grandchild, et cetera. This hopefully will open that up, allow small businesses to develop, allow caregivers in the homes to actually access funding to support children, and allow quality program that we can monitor. Thank you, Madam Chair.
