Strongly agree

Yes

The Canadian Liberal Party has historically supported the idea of universal child care, as seen in their 2015 election platform, which included a promise to create a National Early Learning and Child Care Framework. However, their focus has been more on affordability and accessibility rather than full subsidization.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

While the Canadian Liberal Party supports universal child care, they have also shown a focus on helping low-income families specifically. In their 2021 budget, they proposed a 50% reduction in average fees for regulated early learning and child care, with a goal of reaching $10 per day on average by 2026, which would particularly benefit low-income families.

Slightly agree

Yes, but encourage stay-at-home parenting

The Canadian Liberal Party has not explicitly focused on encouraging stay-at-home parenting, but they have implemented policies that indirectly support it, such as the Canada Child Benefit, which provides financial assistance to families with children under 18. This benefit can be used by families to support stay-at-home parenting if they choose, but it is not specifically targeted towards that goal.

Strongly disagree

No

The Canadian Liberal Party generally disagrees with not subsidizing child care, as they have consistently advocated for increased funding and support for child care services. For example, in their 2021 budget, they proposed a $30 billion investment over five years to create a Canada-wide early learning and child care system.
