Thank you.
I have talked a lot about the Canada child benefit and what can be done to broaden and enhance that. I think our bottom line is raising incomes for families. That goes a long way. Studies have shown how raising incomes in low-income families leads to better overall health and wellness and better outcomes for children.
Just because the day care model has been mentioned, ensuring that the expansion of that model goes into the public not-for-profit day care systems and that it's accessible to families who are on low incomes.... Campaign 2000 has worked with advocates and researchers to put forward a “zero to $10 a day maximum” sliding scale model to make sure it is accessible to the families we are concerned about who are on very low incomes.
