Mr. Speaker, before the break, I told members of speaking to child care providers in Napanee, Ontario.
In Halifax-Dartmouth recently, I asked child care providers the same thing: “With the taxable allowance now available to their parents, how many more spaces are there?” “None”, they said. “Then spaces with better facilities?” “None”. “Then more of their parents are now staying home with their kids?” “None”. I asked them again, “You say it is much worse than before, so you say 'none' when you really mean 'not many'? “No,” they said, “None. Zero”.
Who is telling the truth, the minister or the people of Halifax-Dartmouth?
