Mr. Speaker, we have seen the Conservatives come out with a wasteful and ineffective income-splitting program that will benefit only the most wealthy 15% of Canadians. The Conservatives will try to spin it that it is not what their income-splitting program is, but anyone who examines it will know that.
Could the member describe the benefit of having a universal child care program? I know that people in my area are paying tens of thousands of dollars every year to get good quality care for their kids, if they can find it. The NDP will fix that. Could he describe how?
