Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is good news. Since the changes were made to the program, what have we seen as a result of the increased spending? Have we seen more affordable daycare spaces, or more daycare spaces? Are there any tangible outcomes from this investment that we can see? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It has only been a year, so we still need to evaluate that. As I mentioned earlier, we are going to be signing a bilateral agreement with the Government of Canada. We are going to get more funding that is going to possibly help more of our daycares and our early childhood operators moving forward.

As we collect all that information together, we will keep Members updated. As I also mentioned to Members earlier, once the agreement has been signed, we will be willing to come before committee and give an update on the action plan moving forward. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Noting the clock, I will now rise and report progress.
