That would be our recommendation. The UCCB, as you know, is perhaps misnamed as a child care benefit. It doesn't create new spaces or buy much child care for parents. There's nothing wrong with a national family benefit or something like that for all families. We like universal programs, but it doesn't do what it said it would do. We think there needs to be better thought. It's very complex for people to keep having different pieces to try to put together an income that's sufficient for them.
