I think the debate fundamentally comes down to a debate about who is best placed to make these decisions. I respect the view of some of our progressive friends who suggest that it's the government's role to fully subsidize the care of children. We dispute that. They've been bandying about the fact that $160 does not cover the full cost of child care. That is not necessarily a bad thing. We think it's entirely appropriate that the government support families and make it easier for them; we don't think it's necessarily incumbent on them to bear the full cost of child care. That's a fundamental difference in the point of view.
