I am sorry that the Senator has objected this evening. This is an issue that is critical to every family in this country. We all want our economy to open. I assure everyone that if people can't get childcare, they cannot go back to work. Our schools are going to be looking immediately into how they are going to be opening. Without the additional resources they need, they will not be able to do it. Our kids and our families are worth this bill. I know that several colleagues will be speaking here tonight on this, but I want the Senate to know that these are priorities that we are going to be fighting for. I urge the Senate to bring up the next COVID package. I am willing to work with everybody on it, to hear what everybody has to say, but our kids, our families, and the future of this country has to have our support at this critical time. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Hampshire.
