Mr. Speaker, this new government did of course deliver the universal child care benefit within five months of coming to power.
We did commit to creating spaces through the child care spaces initiative, starting in 2007-08, but I point to a quote from the former deputy prime minister, Sheila Copps, who said, “The last agreement saw some provinces rake in millions without creating one day-care space”. She was speaking of her own government.
What hypocrisy.
