A national child benefit is simply a dollar amount that can be spent on anything. We're not saying to choose one or the other. I think you should maintain the national child benefit for families that are in need, and we need low-cost child care that is accessible across the country.
It's similar to a public education system. There was a time when we wondered about public education and whether everyone should go to school, and all those things. We are long past that time now with regard to early learning and child care. The demographics of the country, the behaviour of women, what families are made of, and how they work have changed dramatically over the last 30 to 40 years, and we are sitting back in 1970.
