Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Mississauga South for that question and for the great work she does on behalf of Canadian families.
Today, the PBO confirmed that 100% of families with children will benefit from our family tax cut and benefit package, regardless of their choice of child care. The PBO said, “The introduction of the [universal child care benefit] greatly increased the level of benefits” to families. In fact, thanks to our Conservative government, he said that the “total federal spending on child care nearly quadrupled”.
While the opposition votes against the UCCB, we will keep putting money in the pockets of families.
