No, encourage stay-at-home parenting
@4SCCFZV4yrs4Y
We live in a patriarchal society; when Canada started doing "women in non traditional trades" they left out the other half of the equation which was to teach men how to multi task. Child rearing needs to be revered instead of being viewed as 'less than'. It is not just a universal child tax, we need a complete overhaul of wages to reflect the importance and tax breaks for people choosing to raise their own children instead of farming that out to a daycare.
@53HLLTK4yrs4Y
A percentage, based on income
@4VPBQML4yrs4Y
No, women belong in the kitchen and should take care of her children at home
@9GSJQ2R1yr1Y
People not working, and taking up spots in subsidized daycares should fazed out for the working people.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Yes, a portion of it with provincial funding added on to it as well, as it is in the realm of education.
@8RH6Y4N4yrs4Y
Subsidize child care to an extent. Have stipulations in place that require the parent to actually have reason for it. No sense in paying for someone's child to go to day care when the parent is sitting at home on their ***
@9TVQQC43mos3MO
They should subsidize paternity and maternity leave in business. I do like the idea of subsidized child care as well, but being there for the baby is so important to their development.
@9RVLJTZ5mos5MO
There should be direct transfers to parents in order to make the best decision which is best for them.
@9KBFTYW 10mos10MO
Yes, but only for low-income families, but the definition of "low-income" needs to be adjusted to reflect actual living income, not currently high enough.
@9HCP7QV1yr1Y
No. The reason people need help in the first place is due to high taxes and debt incurred by govt. we need less dependency on the state, not more. Eliminate all welfare programs and close the departments running them.
@9FQ2ZJY1yr1Y
Yes, Support daycares but prefer subsidies and employment protection for parents who stay at home to take care of kids. Better for kids and this is what a lot of people want but can't afford.

@9FL5ZGX1yr1Y
Child care should be accessible just like how our medical system is.
@9F992B4Libertarian1yr1Y
No. Tax less and leave my money in my pocket to provide child care to my kids
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
Government should provide free day care to all children. Daycare shouldn't be something parents have to pay out of pocket for.
@9F5FC8S 1yr1Y
Their federal government should subsidize child care for families that meet a mindful and appropriate guideline for need, which isn’t always limited to low income families. Families with more than three children should not qualify for subsidized child care, unless the family is blended or the third pregnancy resulted in multiples that are not the product of IVF. Private day care should continue to be available to families who choose it.
@9F2MK7G1yr1Y
Should be a provincial responsibility
@9DQSF441yr1Y
Yes, and add more support for parents with special needs children.
@9BRNCGJ2yrs2Y
No, the government should provide financial incentives for women to become mothers and remove income taxes after 3 children like they do in Hungary
@9BN6JRT2yrs2Y
No. This should be a line item in the federal transfer payments, with Provinces required to meet or exceed minimum standards with a limit for the maximum cost to parents. Accommodation for cross-provincial needs of border towns (wet Que - East Ont, for example) will be required.
@98YDF852yrs2Y
@96QP3KD2yrs2Y
this is a short term solution to a long term problem. Because of how the economy is set up we live in a society were people cannot take care of their family. This is antinatalism at its finest
@95LSVQV2yrs2Y
Yes, but mainly for low-income families
@946LWWK2yrs2Y
Help the province’s find their programs in their jurisdictions
@93KS3GS2yrs2Y
Yes, because I don't trust the government to define low income reliably
@939RLZM3yrs3Y
Yes but only for children under school age
@8WMNMHR3yrs3Y
increase wages so childcare is more accessible or people have the option to have 1 parent stay home and 1 work without financial strain
@8VV5RXH3yrs3Y
yes but only if they offer the choice for one parent to stay home with extended maternity/paternity benefits rather then put their child in daycare
@8VV2P573yrs3Y
Yes, but only for people who cannot afford it
@8VTLB8V3yrs3Y
Yes and it should be accessible to anyone regardless of income and the amounts subsidized should be based on income
@8VLG9Z53yrs3Y
No, people should pay for their own children
@8VL93KJ3yrs3Y
Yes but make it be a % of income
@8VJPVJK3yrs3Y
How will this affect the workers?
@8VJDKSC3yrs3Y
Child care should remain of provincial jurisdiction.
@8VHJ7JR3yrs3Y
Yes but only for the parents who are actually going to work
@8VGHSCT3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for low and middle income earning families
@8VFNH6P3yrs3Y
Childcare charges should be reduced and capped
@8VDCXLM3yrs3Y
Only if it is for the parent to stay home
This encourages women in the work force
@8V6FCJJConservative3yrs3Y
No, de-regulate childcare, it will become more available and less expensive
@8V6D6SY3yrs3Y
Subsidize stay-at-home parents instead.
@8V526FG3yrs3Y
The gov't should not overreach
@8V2X3T33yrs3Y
if there was a decent cost of living wage, this wouldn't be necessary
@8V2BRK43yrs3Y
Yes, but not for-profit childcare
@8TYWNDPNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes but prorated according to individual family income.
@Steeviemac3yrs3Y
Yes, and increase child tax benefits, family allowances and implement a guaranteed basic income to support stay-at-home parenting.
@8TXVXML3yrs3Y
No, it's a Federal Matter. Leave it with communities and Provinces if they choose to push for it.
@8TWTQB73yrs3Y
Lower taxes for everyone so families can afford to pay for their own expenses
@8TWQDTY3yrs3Y
Yes, but basing it off of income brackets
@8TWMWWR3yrs3Y
Yes, but geared-to-income rather than $10 and only for working parents, not for stay-at-home parents.
@8TVXTNT3yrs3Y
Free universal child care
@8TVQ8DH3yrs3Y
@8TV9K363yrs3Y
No, this is provincial jurisdiction.
@8TRZKDR3yrs3Y
Yes, but allow families the choice to between daycare or stay-at home parenting
@8TRG7PQ3yrs3Y
Give families cash and let them make the choice.
@8TNJXJK3yrs3Y
If they do everyone gets it no matter income levels
@8TJYVVK3yrs3Y
the provincial government should subsidize child care
@8TJ5LNT3yrs3Y
They can partially subsidize it, but not so that it is so low as $7 a day like in Quebec. Such a low rate is not sustainable.
@8THB6T7Conservative3yrs3Y
No but it should make it more feasible for one parent to be able to stay home. There should be greater tax benefits for single income families.
@8T452LX4yrs4Y
yes, but in a more than a 10 dollar a day capacity.
@8SLS73S4yrs4Y
No, encourage stay-at-home parenting (from a proud housewife that got refuse to remove it child From school because Quebec want to cash in more with their broken brainwashing's school system )
@8SJVSQG4yrs4Y
Quebec already has subsidized daycare.
@8SCKB7W4yrs4Y
Should be provincial jurisdiction.
@8RXLK454yrs4Y
Yes, for only parents who are working or attending school.
@8RWBJNQ4yrs4Y
The government should offer some support, but mainly for federal employees, and instead encourage companies or buildings to offer it themself.
@8QQHSHT4yrs4Y
Let the provinces decide
@8QNW5S5Conservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but only to some extent
@8QFLL9Y4yrs4Y
No, child care should stay the same as is no matter anybody's situation.
@8QB29MV4yrs4Y
@8Q7NQF94yrs4Y
If a single parent can earn enough as a breadwinner (minimum wage) for the family then child care becomes a choice not a requirement, therefore not requiring subsidization.
@8Q28BQH4yrs4Y
I dont understand the question
@8PYFGKY4yrs4Y
mostly yes but with proper spending and when we can afford it.
@8PTB22N4yrs4Y
Daycare fees should not only be lowered but regulated and paid at a salary ratio.
@8PPC2NJ4yrs4Y
Only if the parents work full-time
@8PJVJTNConservative4yrs4Y
No. The current child care benefit allows parents to make their own choices on how they want to use their benefits.
@8JL2LHD4yrs4Y
yes, for struggling families.
@8JGRQCY4yrs4Y
Yes, but include parents who stay at home.
@8J6DBQ54yrs4Y
Increase subsidies for low income.
@8GTYCYJ4yrs4Y
NO... it should subsidize stay at home patents.
@8FRYPJB4yrs4Y
Yes but limit the amount the amount of kids that can receive the benefit to two children.
@8F3X5KV4yrs4Y
Yes, but not for wealthy families making over $200,000 per year.
@8DC73B24yrs4Y
Yes, subsidize everything, some people can't afford it themselves.
@8D94JYD4yrs4Y
Yes, but for low-income and lower-middle class families.
@8D8S5H24yrs4Y
Provide a child care benefit and let the parents decide how to use it
Yes, but with provinces and other levels of government at the table to come to a consensus.
@9CQJF7L1yr1Y
Yes, but through subsidies rather than credits.
@99MVFWX2yrs2Y
Subsdize Stay at home parenting.
@99JNTRWConservative2yrs2Y
Into a monitored fund insuring proper use of the money, with check ups a couple times a year to insure the child has good conditions. Not being overly strict with taking children away.
@99J9L632yrs2Y
Yes, but integrate child care into local institutions like school boards.
Yes, and provide them with free food and milk in schools.
@8VFMVLR3yrs3Y
More affordable daycare‘s. Or middle class should get some assistance as well
@8TWDTHBConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, but not a one size fits all solution.
@8TVYS423yrs3Y
No, it should subsidize the creation of affordable childcare spaces to reduce the cost.
