Yes, hours and money: that is swimming.
On the children's fitness tax credit and the decision to let go of that particular tax credit, the thinking behind it, as you've probably been told, is that our new Canada child benefit puts money directly in the pockets of families. One thing we learned from the fitness tax credit over the years is that it actually didn't result in increased participation in sport, because you still had to be able to afford sport in order to claim that credit later on during the year. It didn't put money into the pockets of somebody.... If I can't afford the $200 for swimming, it won't matter that a year or eight months later I can get a credit for it or get part of that money back.
On the thinking that having a child Canada benefit puts money directly into the hands up front, what I'm hoping is that it will give parents more flexibility financially to actually get their kids out into the pools and onto the fields. It's a kind of philosophical discussion as to how we invest, right? We've decided to go with the child Canada benefit that puts money in pockets up front instead of requiring parents to claim the fitness tax credit at the end.
