Mr. Chair, a year into the making and it has been working but we are losing thousands of spaces.
The government also broke a promise from the election. It said that the $100 would not impact the child tax benefit. In fact, the government eliminated the young child supplement program, and the modest income that Canadians are now receiving does nothing to help them. There is no affordable child care to boot and the money is taxable. This gives parents absolutely no choice.
What does the minister have against children and learning and providing them with the opportunities they need to succeed?
