Mr. Speaker, there is nothing but smoke and mirrors in the budget on Kyoto and the same happens to be true for child care.
The finance minister ought to be ashamed for putting more effort into a photo op than he did in creating child care spaces. We end up not with a day care program but with a child care lottery. He spent seven times as much scrapping the capital tax as he did on child care.
How can the finance minister give business the jackpot for capital taxes while families have to play the lottery for child care spaces?
