They are trading one pittance for another. But instead of giving $5 billion to be eaten away by bureaucrats (and it was - Ontario was averaging $44,000 per child care space instead of the $11,000 they were supposed to, and the spaces were not subsidized for parents) he's sending $10 billion to the parents. Twice as much money. No money being eaten away as it gets filtered through the provincial government, to various provincial daycare providers, to individual daycare providers. It's ridiculous to require parents to prove that they spent their $1200 on their children. Children cost much, much, much, much more than $1200. If each child under 6 is not receiving at least $100 per month for food, clothes and living expenses, the state should take them away. Neither plan is perfect. I prefer the CPC plan, as I feel the Liberal plan is yet another useless announceable. As an expectant father (just found out this morning - feel free to congratulate me!) my opinion should count for something on this. Do you have children, or is this a theoretical argument to you? Because yes, in theory a National Child Care Plan would be great! We just never had one. Judy,
