Should the federal government subsidize universal child care?

We do....school

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.

A percentage, based on income

No, women belong in the kitchen and should take care of her children at home

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.

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.

People not working, and taking up spots in subsidized daycares should fazed out for the working people.

Yes, a portion of it with provincial funding added on to it as well, as it is in the realm of education.

yes, but in a more than a 10 dollar a day capacity.

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 )

Quebec already has subsidized daycare.

Should be provincial jurisdiction.

This is Capitalist

Yes, for only parents who are working or attending school.

The government should offer some support, but mainly for federal employees, and instead encourage companies or buildings to offer it themself.

Let the provinces decide

Yes, but only to some extent

No, child care should stay the same as is no matter anybody's situation.

Yes, for people in need

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.

I dont understand the question

mostly yes but with proper spending and when we can afford it.

Daycare fees should not only be lowered but regulated and paid at a salary ratio.

Only if the parents work full-time

Yes, but for low-income and lower-middle class families.

Provide a child care benefit and let the parents decide how to use it

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.

Child care should be accessible just like how our medical system is.

No. Tax less and leave my money in my pocket to provide child care to my kids

Government should provide free day care to all children. Daycare shouldn't be something parents have to pay out of pocket for.

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.

Should be a provincial responsibility

Yes, and add more support for parents with special needs children.

Yes, but with provinces and other levels of government at the table to come to a consensus.

Yes, but through subsidies rather than credits.

Yes, for all kids

yes but to some extent

No, and abolish universal child care and instead bring the insurance industry back and cause profiteering with companies to do the best for patients

Yes, and provide them with free food and milk in schools.

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

Yes, but mainly for low-income families

Help the province’s find their programs in their jurisdictions

Yes, because I don't trust the government to define low income reliably

Yes but only for children under school age

Provinces choose

Yes, but through rate caps and tax deductions for parents. This will also more options and the free market will dictate which businesses receive clients. Standards will be forced to increase at all centres.

Yes, but compensate people with equivalent $ to those who dont have children.

I think universal child care should be entirely covered by the government.
