I do quickly need to suggest that we have often, within this conversation, headed into the conversation around child care, absolutely related to maternity benefits. But please, I represent a rural riding, and when we talk about universal child care as being the answer, let's not forget—I mean, I have so many people. First of all, it's a provincial responsibility. The provinces have additional money to make decisions. And I can't tell you how many people.... It might not sound like a lot of money, but the appreciation of my rural and remote people, who have family farms and young people on family farms.... So we can't forget that we can't take an urban-centric model to our goals around early childhood development and child care.
