I thank the Chairman. This is very timely as we discuss child care and how it can be provided in an affordable manner for families such that it would not inhibit their ability to work and so on. In the circumstances, and because it is the brief of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, I suggest that we refer it to the Minister for his consideration as part of a suite of possible measures for addressing child care costs.
