The previous government made the first step, we believe, and you have the expert here. But as nurses we're still at 93% women in this country, and 75% of our members are mothers. I have a 17-year-old and used to pay $35 a day for child care in New Brunswick. It is $70 a day in Ottawa. At 17, I don't need this, and shouldn't--probably a security guard more than child care, but I won't go there. I made a fairly good salary for New Brunswick, but $35 a day to guarantee that my son.... And that was just child care; it wasn't child care with an early initiative in education. We know children need to be boosted in their education in the first five years, never mind when they're 17.
