Mr. Speaker, we saw in the budget that the Conservative government is working for Canadians and for Canadian families.
The universal child care program will give money directly to parents to assist them in raising their children. This is something they never had before. It is new for Canadian families.
I have spoken to people in my riding about the benefit of this particular program and they speak very highly of it. They do not have access to the institutionalized day care spaces that the Liberals wanted to implement. People want financial assistance to help them with raising their children.
We have other measures in our budget to assist families, such as the reduction in the GST, a tax credit for sports programs and other such initiatives.
