Mr. Speaker, I have a petition also from approximately 80 residents of the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, including a number of folks from Burnaby—Douglas.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to achieve multi-year funding to ensure that publicly operated child are programs are sustainable in the long term, to protect child care by enshrining it in legislation with a national child care act to be a cornerstone of Canada like the national Health Act and to help end child poverty by using the $1,200 allowance to enhance the child tax benefit without taxes and clawbacks.
