The Canadian government has launched a program to help all Canadian children by paying $100 per month for each child under the age of six. If I remember correctly, this is done all over Canada. It is a direct way to help parents and families to pay childcare costs and other costs. This was decided by the government.
The issues of early childhood and education were raised during the consultations. Various suggestions were made. There are things that can be done for pre-schooling, but provincial jurisdictions must be respected. Mr. Gravel, I am sure that you are not saying that I should have advised the federal government to set up an early childhood program that would infringe on provincial jurisdiction.
