Thank you.
This question is for the New Brunswick Childcare Coalition.
If I read you brief correctly, you're asking the federal government to reverse its decision to abolish the national childcare program which has been replaced by an amount of $1,200 per child. That amount is taxable, I should underline.
Are you asking the government to abolish this measure in order to restore the previous program or would that amount be on top of the program? One could easily see the government paying $1,200 per child per year through a reimbursable tax credit while at the same time restoring the national childcare program. I would like to know what your expectations are about this.
