Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Women from every province and territory are marching against poverty and are demanding in one strong voice that the Liberal government keep its promise of a national child care program.
This weekend we saw the federal funds for child care cut by over 100 per cent from the original commitment. The Minister of Finance has said he will not raise corporate taxes to help pay for programs such as child care.
Why has the government made it a priority to please corporations rather than look to the welfare of Canada's children?
