Mr. Speaker, my brief was duly submitted about two weeks ago. I hope the minister gets a chance to read it.
An Angus Reid and CTV poll released today suggested that most parents would rather care for their preschool children in their own homes. This confirms much of what my colleagues have been saying all along. The current federal tax rules make it more expensive for parents to care for their children at home than to send them to daycare. All parents should have the freedom to choose what form of care is best for their children.
When will the government stop penalizing millions of parents who choose to care for their preschool children at home?
