I think there are a few reasons for this.
First of all, Andrea mentioned the Gruber, Baker and Milligan report, which, shockingly, Liberal advisers have not brought forth to you. It points out serious concerns in the mental health and behaviour problems that have happened, and we've had 20 years of a universal program in Quebec.
I'm a real feminist. My mother battled the nuns 70 years ago at U of T to get her commerce and finance degrees, and then went on to get a graduate degree in economics. I have four sisters. I have to put this out there. I'm really progressive.
What you're seeing with these universal programs, which I know as a former teacher, is that when you take kids in such low ratios and really cram them into group care at such a young age, the problems often don't show up until later, in the teen years. This is what's happening. I have so much other research I could read to you, but unfortunately the time is limited.
Sweden found, in droves, that the problems showed up in the teen years. Even their own health ministry is very concerned about the high level of suicide, ill behaviour and depression in teens. The largest parents protest group in Sweden actually wanted to join our group and make a complaint to the United Nations to say that unless parents had the right to look after their own children, problems that didn't show up until the teen years were the result of a universal program.
Simply put, you are not putting enough adults in little kids' lives. You are basically corralling kids, on the cheap, to raise them.
