Mr. Speaker, the second petition is from a large number of parents across Canada who say that high quality child care is a benefit to all children, that it enhances health and school readiness, that it reduces family poverty, that it promotes social inclusion and workforce productivity and that cancelling funding for new child care after a year eliminates the plans of communities to expand affordable child care to rural and other high needs communities in developing their child care plans.
Monsieur le Président, la deuxième pétition a été signée par de nombreux parents d'un peu partout au Canada, qui affirment que des garderies de qualité profitent à tous les enfants, améliorant leur santé et leur attention en classe, réduisant la pauvreté familiale et favorisant l'inclusion sociale et la productivité de la main-d'oeuvre.
