WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:17.039 Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio. 2 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.280 Welcome to Policy and Rights, the show about the government, 3 00:00:25.320 --> 00:01:09.439 policy and human rights. Welcome back to Policy and Race 4 00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.519 Here in Depictions Media Radio, I'm your host, Michael Cloggs. Well, 5 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.879 over the weekend we heard about rocket fire exchange rockets 6 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.879 between Israel and the Hespitala in southern Lebanon as they 7 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:31.400 fired rockets across border. Well, maybe there weren't as many 8 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:38.560 rockets as we actually thought. Maybe it was more of 9 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.640 a fizzle than it was a fanfare. There were. 10 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.040 IDF targets actually hit by the Hespeala. 11 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:51.799 That that while. 12 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:57.799 That remains true, but I heard heard this from someone 13 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:05.680 who actually lives in Lebanon that while there were jets 14 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.159 in the air, rockets going overhead, that people still went 15 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.120 to the beach. Still, people still lived their lives and 16 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:25.759 it wasn't as all encumbering as as we might have 17 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.599 thought it would have been the retaliation between the Hesbala 18 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.719 and the Idea. So, but there is something to be 19 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.400 said because while I got the report from a friend 20 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:47.280 in Beirut as we were talking about things, and we're 21 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:54.199 talking about that the struggle that of course the Haspala 22 00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:01.360 being one of the warder lord parties from the nineteen seventies. 23 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.919 They have managed to continue forth in Lebanon as a 24 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.759 political strength, even though it is known of course by 25 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:21.520 the United States, Canada and Britain as their terrorists, and 26 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.479 they are a a in that particular country, they of Lebanon. 27 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:34.680 There they are a legitimate political party, not just a 28 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:39.439 hate group designed to go around the world blowing things up. 29 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:51.199 So with with all that, we were also discussing some 30 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.919 of the political happenings around the world. 31 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.560 We also discussed. 32 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.520 Some of the things that have opening in the United States, 33 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.120 whereas Kamala Harris is actually picking up steam with her 34 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:15.240 political party with the Democrats and her campaign, and the 35 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:24.720 Republicans are losing ground in their campaign. As I watched 36 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.879 what was happening in social media, especially on x It's 37 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.079 like some of the things that I have may have 38 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:38.319 answered to that we do need to understand that that 39 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.920 Kamala Harris as vice president did actually have a stake 40 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.240 in some of the things that we would think would 41 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.800 make sense, such as gun control and making sure that 42 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.600 illegal weapons don't wind up on the street committing crimes. 43 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:01.839 After all, while biding weapons do not commit crimes. They 44 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.519 because they're in the hands of those who want to 45 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.920 obey the law and abide by rules. Those weapons that 46 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:20.560 are out there committing crimes, of course, are the the 47 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.120 ones that the ghost guns. That Kamala Harrison and Joe 48 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:33.040 Biden together worked on finding a way to regulate ghost 49 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.319 guns so that they would they would be trackable on 50 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:45.639 the streets. And mister mister Trump had no no party 51 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.959 in that. Mister Trump is standing on the idea of 52 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.319 illegal immigration saying that it's the illegal immigration that's causing 53 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:59.240 the crime. M and he has no basis for that. 54 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:06.639 And I said so on onn X and the it 55 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:12.120 would seem that the Trump campaign is fueled by hatred 56 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.240 and we simply have enough hatred in our world and 57 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:22.240 we need to do something to curb hatred from from hereout. 58 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:30.720 If that means electing a fantastic woman into the office 59 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.720 of the United States of of of America, then that 60 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:43.120 is what we should do. Okay, So moving forward along 61 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.199 with that, since we're on the whole political thing, we 62 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.680 had a lot of political happenings in Ottawa with the 63 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:55.160 Liberal Party. They have come back from retreat and they've 64 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.839 they're going into the school year, because yes, we are 65 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.519 about to head into school year here in Canada next week, 66 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.439 reporting to you right now from it is August twenty six, 67 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:15.199 and within the next five to six days, schools will 68 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.759 be open for business and our children will be in classrooms. 69 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:25.680 They're trying to ensure that the ten dollars a day 70 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:33.879 daycare is instituted, regardless if it actually hurts a a 71 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:39.040 for profit business or not. That they that according to 72 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.360 the rules of getting the funding, you have to be 73 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.360 a nonprofit in order to qualify for the ten dollars 74 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:51.839 a day daycare funding system. If you are a for 75 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.519 profit business, you would seem to be disqualified. And that 76 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:02.639 question came up and we was redirected several times at 77 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:07.279 Minister suns which we'll hear from her and in a 78 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.399 little bit as there are other things that happened, uh 79 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:18.160 the Prime Minister announced a tariff against Chinese evs well, 80 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.160 as we're going to hear from also from Christia Friedland, 81 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.920 the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister did some of 82 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:33.240 that makes sense that why as we where a country 83 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.039 that stands on human rights, why would we want to 84 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:43.159 support a electric vehicle program that harms the environment and 85 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:51.879 hurts workers in China's gonna make sense, okay, So yeah, 86 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.559 tariff it so that so that we trade with them 87 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:59.679 all other things. There is the idea also that we 88 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:05.080 do as as a nation about one hundred billion dollars 89 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:10.200 in trade with China. So we have to be careful 90 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.519 about that. As we're going to hear from Minister joli 91 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:17.279 as Foreign Minister, she has has a tough job. When 92 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.600 we decide to as a government, the government decides to 93 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.559 tear off one product, how do you balance that out? 94 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.759 So Minister Jolie as Foreign Minister has has her work 95 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.159 cut out for her to ensure that, hey, we still 96 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.320 get all the really fun products that we have that 97 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:42.679 we that we want around us, such as, Hey, the 98 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.840 fact of the matter is is that I'm surrounded by 99 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.840 apple products and. 100 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.039 A lot of apple stuff is actually made in China. 101 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:59.519 That remains that so you know, and make sure that 102 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:04.440 I still get access to my apple products. And for 103 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:09.279 those of you who are listening, who are my LGBTQ 104 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:18.399 friends and and that are fighting for equality and for 105 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.639 Palestine to have its own and Palestinians to have their 106 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.799 own country and into the colonialism that is actually happening there. 107 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.639 My apologies, but we all have to have our vices. 108 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.000 So there's a lot happening. As we're going to hear 109 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.360 about the farm worker programs being being slashed, we're also 110 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.840 going to hear about that inflation is coming down. Well 111 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:51.840 I kind of hesitated that one the Prime Minister says 112 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.519 the inflation is coming down. So does the Finance minister 113 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:02.480 also say that that inflation is falling? But I don't 114 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:07.919 know because when I go to fuel up by vehicle 115 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.559 and when I go to the grocery store, I'm still 116 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:19.279 paying high prices. It's something that but it is something 117 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:24.080 that they are also discussing, discussing and going back to 118 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.200 the back to school thing. They're not only they are 119 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:35.919 there is a institution of a food program because all right, yeah, 120 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.080 we don't want to see any kid go arrive in 121 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.879 a classroom hungry because it does distract them. We also 122 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.879 want to want I do have to question something about 123 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.840 what kind of food are they actually going to be 124 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.080 serving now the government has control over the food that 125 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.440 our children are getting while they're while. 126 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.600 For a large portion of. 127 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:08.399 The day, is that food going to meet the standards 128 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.559 that I would want to feed my kids at home. 129 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.519 It's a legitimate question, and no one seems to have 130 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:22.279 been able to answer that what what are the food 131 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:28.559 programs actually going to be serving? So we have to 132 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.799 also ensure that if these programs are going to be 133 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.000 in place, that they have to meet a certain standard. 134 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:40.480 And the standard is completely set by the government, But 135 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:45.000 can we trust them to actually set the standard? So 136 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:50.480 some things that we should be questioning. So there's a 137 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.240 lot going to be happening in that you're going to 138 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:58.240 be hearing as the cabinet had in the Liberal caucus 139 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:02.159 had a retreat and that they're coming back with saying 140 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:07.279 how they're going to make changes to adjust to the 141 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:13.279 economy as they are seeing it. But the economy as 142 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:17.799 the government is seeing it, it doesn't match how we 143 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.799 are seeing it as the people. Are they truly in 144 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.679 touch with us or are they still going to go with, hey, 145 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.000 let's make sure we feed the corporations and you know, 146 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.039 impoverish the people. So why don't we go listen to 147 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.279 right now, We're going to listen to a few minutes 148 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.960 of the opening statements that Prime Minister had and then 149 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.480 we'll hear the rest of the ministers as they speak. 150 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.279 Good morning everyone. First off, I want to start on 151 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.559 the rail dispute. I want to make sure that everyone 152 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.600 knows how grateful we are for all the hard work 153 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.519 that people did on resolving this rail dispute, all parties involved, 154 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:21.919 the Minister stepped up. 155 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.000 I think Canadians fully. 156 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.639 Understand just how important it is to keep our economy rolling, 157 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.399 keep making sure that families, workers, businesses are supported across 158 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:30.919 the country. 159 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:31.519 Uh. 160 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:34.200 And that's where everyone came together and got this done 161 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:48.080 to transcref Gardino economy. 162 00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:08.639 In the resolution, my names Pas dunbar Jique. 163 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:19.799 Gerifricier comes. We worked hard throughout the summer focused on 164 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.000 getting the things we put in the budget twenty twenty 165 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:25.799 four done. That's what people across the country are counting on. 166 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.759 They need support, they need help, they need investments. They 167 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.840 need programs that are delivering for them in a way 168 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.039 that responds to the challenges they're facing in their daily lives. 169 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.879 So we unlocked tens of thousands of affordable housing units 170 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.799 while streamlining the process to build more homes faster. We 171 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:47.240 launched more affordable monthly mortgage payments Papa. 172 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.840 Yea, the Premie. 173 00:15:51.080 --> 00:16:12.759 Louis van Zuidervoir we've been working hard on expanding ten 174 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.799 dollars a day childcare across the country and getting a 175 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:20.000 national school food program in place as soon as possible. 176 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:21.679 Families are looking back. 177 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.720 To school this week and we need to make sure 178 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:29.000 we're getting kids the best food possible as there as 179 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.360 they're getting into that school year. But through negotiations over 180 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.000 the summer, it's clear that some provinces are dragging their 181 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.320 feet on these negotiations. 182 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:40.200 And throwing up roadblocks. 183 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.240 You'd think we can all agree that Canadian families deserve 184 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.080 affordable childcare and that every child should have good fool 185 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.759 available to them at school, But if you listen to 186 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:56.519 Pierre polyevan Is conservatives, that would be waco. Well, we're 187 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.919 going to continue to step up and deliver for family. 188 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:05.599 Good food and kids' bellies at school means they can concentrate, 189 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:09.440 but also means that takes pressure off families grocery bills. 190 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:12.119 So back to schools right around the corner. 191 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.759 So my message to premiers is to work with us 192 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.160 to get this done and done fast. 193 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.559 Kids need it and families need it. 194 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.359 Two years ago, in the aftermath of the pandemic and 195 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.839 facing severe labor shortages, we adjusted the program for temporary 196 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.400 foreign workers. That's what the business community needed, That's what 197 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.240 the business community was asking for, and at that moment 198 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:40.559 in time, those changes helped. They helped the economy, and 199 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.160 they helped businesses make it through a challenging moment in 200 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.680 our economic recovery. But today's economy is very different from 201 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.000 it was two years ago. Inflation has started to come down, 202 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.039 employment is higher. We no longer need as many temporary 203 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.880 foreign workers. We need Canadian businesses to invest in training 204 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:06.440 and technology and not increasing their reliance on low cost 205 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.359 foreign labor. It's not fair to Canadians struggling to find 206 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.599 a good job, and it's not fair to those temporary 207 00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:17.200 foreign workers, some of whom are being mistreated and exploited. 208 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:19.240 So I asked my minister to. 209 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.559 Work on this over the summer, and we are taking action. 210 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.640 We are tightening the rules and restricting eligibility to reduce 211 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:31.000 the number of low wage temporary foreign workers in Canada, 212 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:36.160 with exceptions in certain industries like healthcare, construction, and food security. 213 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.559 We'll also be looking at changes to the high wage 214 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.920 stream of the program as part of the Minister's expedited 215 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:44.519 ninety day review. 216 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:46.920 So to those who would. 217 00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:51.400 Complain about workers shortages. Here's my message, there is no 218 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:59.880 better time to hire and invest in Canadian workers program 219 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:11.359 for ferri di modification past a precular Minister of Prosidy 220 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.640 are an exam accidary and the lad cat viju. As 221 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.599 you Ki explained, the rapin hit made simon message your 222 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:24.640 prother mayor moment for investi a bouchet de travai di. 223 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:33.039 Tra Hello everyone, bonjour. 224 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:35.640 It's that time of year again. 225 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.960 It is the time of year where parents are once 226 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:43.519 again thinking about back to school, and as a Minister 227 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:46.720 for Families, Children and Social Development, I am also thinking 228 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.279 about back to school as I get my kids ready 229 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.640 to head back as I continue also to work with 230 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:59.319 the provinces and territories to roll out both our early 231 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:02.640 learning and childcare program across this country as well as 232 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.200 the National School Food Program. So our early learning and 233 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:12.200 childcare program, we have seen some incredible progress over the 234 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:16.400 last few years, but of course there's still more work 235 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.880 to be done. I'd like to highlight that at no 236 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:27.200 point in history have we seen such historic generational investments 237 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:32.720 to create a national system that will benefit generations to come. 238 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.839 And as we move forward, we have already seen seven 239 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:43.599 hundred and fifty thousand families across this country benefit from 240 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.039 this program to date, and we've seen one hundred and 241 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:53.200 fifteen thousand new spaces created across this country. We have 242 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.920 eight provinces and territories already at ten dollars a day, 243 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:01.720 and all other provinces into territories on track to get 244 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:07.160 there by twenty twenty six. These investments are as I mentioned, 245 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:12.279 they are historic investments that will benefit, of course, not 246 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.599 only families today, but families for generations to come. The 247 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:20.799 savings that families are seeing right now vary across the 248 00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:25.640 province anywhere from three thousand dollars to over fourteen thousand 249 00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:31.279 dollars per child each and every year. And so as 250 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.240 I continue to work with the provinces and territories, I 251 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.799 am calling for all provinces and territories to continue to 252 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:42.880 work with us to ensure that we see two hundred 253 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:47.400 and fifty thousand new spaces created by twenty twenty six. 254 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.480 And that will mean more families having access to this 255 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.640 high quality, affordable care, which means shorter waitless and more 256 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:01.279 families benefiting from this program. The same time, I'm also 257 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:05.640 having conversations with provinces and territories as we move forward 258 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:09.640 with the National school food program, and you know, I 259 00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:14.680 truly believe that everyone in this country would agree that 260 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.000 we do not want to see children at school Hungary 261 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.839 and so I look forward to continuing those discussions and 262 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.559 hope to have more to share on that very soon. 263 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.839 Thank you very much, him, Minister said zam Mea Rabson 264 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:31.920 from the Canadian Press. I'm just wondering if you get 265 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.599 updates on the status of your sort of own deliberation 266 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.759 on Ontario's request to lift the for profit limits. I 267 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:39.400 know that was something you were supposed to talk with 268 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.359 Todd Smith about and then he resigned. Is that caused 269 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.200 any delay in that and what's the status of your consideration. 270 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:46.039 On that well. 271 00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:50.319 As I shared previously prior to him resigning, the only 272 00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:54.039 conversation that I was interested in having with the province 273 00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:58.720 was with respect to moving forward with a sustainable funding 274 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:03.880 model for our childcare operators here in Ontario. Since that time, 275 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:08.160 we have seen the province announce that funding formula, which 276 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:12.880 will come into place on January first. Obviously, there's been 277 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:17.000 a change in minister at the provincial level here in Ontario, 278 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:21.680 and I look forward to engaging in dialogue with Minister Dunlop. 279 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.920 Obviously she gets into the role and gets fully briefed. 280 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.480 What does that mean You're rejecting the request from Ontario 281 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:31.759 to lift the limits on for profit spaces. 282 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:36.799 My job as we roll out this national childcare program 283 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:43.680 is to ensure that the highest quality, accessible, inclusive and 284 00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:47.920 affordable spots are created. As we moved forward with all 285 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.960 of our agreements with provinces and territories, we have made 286 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.960 the decision to ensure that this is a public system 287 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:01.519 predominantly favoring non for profit spaces. So I am always 288 00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:05.519 open to conversation with my minister a colleagues across the country, 289 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:07.920 and I look forward to having the opportunity to speak 290 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.880 with Minister Dunlop. 291 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.839 But you didn't answer the question, did you Are you 292 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:12.960 rejecting that request or are you still considering it. 293 00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.000 I have not had the opportunity yet to meet with 294 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.319 Minister Dunlap's. 295 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.000 Air investment for Chronigle Herald again on the issue of 296 00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:24.480 for profit and not for profits funding in Nova Scotia 297 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:29.400 is certainly outside of Halifax because for profit daycares they're 298 00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:32.279 small business operators and their women primarily who will run 299 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:35.400 small businesses, and they've found that they have not been 300 00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:38.279 able to be approved to create new spaces and expand 301 00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:42.480 their businesses because of provisions in the funding formula with 302 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.880 the federal government that say that nonprofits have to be prioritized. 303 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.480 But in most of these towns that nonprofits don't exist. 304 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.640 So are you willing to make changes to the formula 305 00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:59.640 to allow, you know, small to for profits daycarees to 306 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:02.519 receive funding under the Candida Nova Scotia agreement. 307 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.920 Sure, I appreciate the question. Nova Scotia is faring quite 308 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.640 well when it comes to rolling out the childcare program 309 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.680 here in this province. They made a commitment to create 310 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:20.440 nine five hundred non for profit spaces over the five 311 00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:24.519 years of the agreement. They are at over five thousand 312 00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:29.480 of those spaces already announced, and most recently, we're able 313 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.079 to submit their three year action plan, which is a 314 00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:36.880 requirement of our funding agreement, which lays forward the plan 315 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.599 of how they are going to create those nine five 316 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:44.359 hundred spaces out to the end of the agreement, and 317 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:49.359 so they've been able to do so. They have demonstrated 318 00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:54.000 that they are committed to the agreement committed to creating 319 00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:58.000 the spaces and committed to getting to ten dollars a 320 00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:59.279 day by twenty twenty six. 321 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:02.960 You know, if you're in Aneganish and there isn't a 322 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.000 nonprofit creating spaces, if you're in if you're Insure, if 323 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:09.759 you're in all these places where nonprofits don't exist to 324 00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:12.960 create the daycare spaces. But there are small business people 325 00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:17.119 and they're all the ones I've spoken to her, female 326 00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:21.359 small business people and entrepreneurs who aren't able to provide 327 00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:24.839 a service that the community needs, like, are you going 328 00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:27.519 to allow for that? And if not, why not? What's 329 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.200 wrong with small business owners? 330 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:30.400 Right? 331 00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:31.880 Cares well? 332 00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:36.039 I would first point out that obviously those that were 333 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.079 already functioning, that we're already providing amazing service here in 334 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.240 the province, continue to do so and are part of 335 00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:47.359 the program they were in by no means excluded. But 336 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:51.720 having said that, as I just mentioned, Nova Scotia is 337 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:54.759 required to move forward and to present to us a 338 00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:58.160 three year action plan, which they have done, and in 339 00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:01.400 doing so needs to ensure sure in that plan that 340 00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:07.319 they demonstrate the ability to provide spaces throughout the province, 341 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:13.559 including rural including Francophone, including including serving children with diverse needs. 342 00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.680 That's what the action plan calls for, accessibility, inclusivity and 343 00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.240 getting to ten dollars a day by twenty twenty six. 344 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.400 And so you know, if the province has already demonstrated 345 00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:28.759 their ability to meet those targets and to move forward, 346 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:31.480 and I look forward to continuing that work with them. 347 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:33.160 Pretty much. 348 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:42.079 Hello everybody, Monjo, I hope you're doing well. I hope 349 00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:47.599 you had a great summer. So I'm here as your 350 00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.839 Foreign Minister in the context of this Cabinet retreat to 351 00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:54.720 talk about different issues that are important to Canadians, including 352 00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:58.880 of course what is happening in the world. We know 353 00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:04.359 that a lot of the geopolitical instability is causing a 354 00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.160 lot of anxiety with Canadians. And also we know that 355 00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.000 affordability issues are linked to the fact that there are 356 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.440 so many supply chains that have been disrupted because there's 357 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.920 so many do political tensions. And we saw it again 358 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.640 today with what happened in Kiev and a Crain and 359 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:26.039 of course we condemn these attacks by Russia.
