Mr. Speaker, Canadians have a growing understanding that the government's child care scheme will fail them. Ontario's Minister of Children and Youth Services said, “The Conservative plan betrays Ontarians because it offers no money to cover operating costs”.
The British Columbia minister said that she knows of no business or community organization prepared to buy into the proposed tax deductions.
However, the government is determined to press ahead with the very deduction that it knows failed to create a single space under Mike Harris.
When will the Prime Minister listen to the provinces that are actually engaged in delivering child care and implement the child care agreements they signed and they know are crucial to the future of Canadian children?
