Mr. Speaker, the minister should check her numbers again.Yesterday, she stated that parents would be able to use their $1,200 allowance as they choose. This would hold true for both a single-parent family earning $28,000 and a family earning $200,000.
Does the minister not realize that, with her formula, she is giving some wealthy families far more choice than low-income families? In fact, some high-income families will receive more money than families that are really in need.
