One of the things I think the government could argue about the child care allowance to families—which I call a family allowance, that $100 a month--is that in fact the payment is to individuals rather than to the state, in this case the provincial state. To me it seems that what's really critical is how we make sure that the revenues that are needed to pay a universally acceptable quality child care program and ensure that children don't grow up in poverty are available. Clearly there is a role for the federal government and clearly there is a role for the provincial government.
If you ask me what portion of what should go between which, that's a very complex discussion that goes well beyond what I could probably give you today. But I'd be pleased to talk to you afterwards.
