Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary mentioned the Liberal child care and day care program. The Liberals have been promising this since 1993. There is an old saying: “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me six, seven or eight times, shame on me.”
We really do not believe they are going to come through with this. Their plan does not take into account the difference between rural and urban and the cultural differences in Canada. Some parents want to do things a bit differently.
Does she not agree that it would be better, instead of waiting years to develop this program, to give the money directly to parents so that parents have a choice in the raising of their children?
