Mr. Speaker, as I said yesterday, the government is committing $5 billion over five years. That represents a 40% increase over what is spent on child care across the country.
The party opposite talks about a $2,000 child tax deduction. It would be very interesting if anybody over there did the math. For a low income family that would represent $320 a year. The average cost of child care in this country is $8,000 a year.
