Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the hon. member's comments regarding child care and have a question for him.
In my riding, the federal and provincial governments were to put a program together under the Liberal plan, offering $23.1 million, which in the region of Halton would create 600 child care spaces. That would leave 34,400 children in Halton without any new child care money and 15,000 families with no child care money at all. How can that possibly be a better plan than the current plan, which will give $1,200 per year to every single one of those 15,000 parents in my riding? I ask the member to please explain.
