Should the federal government subsidize universal child care?

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.

We do...school

A percentage, based on income

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

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.

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 ***

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.

There should be direct transfers to parents in order to make the best decision which is best for them.

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.

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.

No, the government should provide financial incentives for women to become mothers and remove income taxes after 3 children like they do in Hungary

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.

yes but to some extent

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

increase wages so childcare is more accessible or people have the option to have 1 parent stay home and 1 work without financial strain

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

Yes, but only for people who cannot afford it

Yes and it should be accessible to anyone regardless of income and the amounts subsidized should be based on income

No, people should pay for their own children

Yes but make it be a % of income

How will this affect the workers?

Child care should remain of provincial jurisdiction.

Yes but only for the parents who are actually going to work

Yes, but only for low and middle income earning families

Childcare charges should be reduced and capped

Only if it is for the parent to stay home

Yes up to 2 kids

This encourages women in the work force

No, de-regulate childcare, it will become more available and less expensive

Subsidize stay-at-home parents instead.

The gov't should not overreach

Yes, but based on need

if there was a decent cost of living wage, this wouldn't be necessary

Yes, but not for-profit childcare

Yes but prorated according to individual family income.

Yes, and increase child tax benefits, family allowances and implement a guaranteed basic income to support stay-at-home parenting.

No, it's a Federal Matter. Leave it with communities and Provinces if they choose to push for it.

Lower taxes for everyone so families can afford to pay for their own expenses

Yes, but basing it off of income brackets

Yes, but geared-to-income rather than $10 and only for working parents, not for stay-at-home parents.

Free universal child care

Yes but based on income

No, this is provincial jurisdiction.

Yes, but allow families the choice to between daycare or stay-at home parenting

Give families cash and let them make the choice.

If they do everyone gets it no matter income levels

the provincial government should subsidize child care

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.

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.

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

No. The current child care benefit allows parents to make their own choices on how they want to use their benefits.

yes, for struggling families.

Yes, but include parents who stay at home.

Increase subsidies for low income.

NO... it should subsidize stay at home patents.

Yes but limit the amount the amount of kids that can receive the benefit to two children.

Yes, but not for wealthy families making over $200,000 per year.

Yes, subsidize everything, some people can't afford it themselves.

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

Yes, but through subsidies rather than credits.

get rid of it lol

Subsdize Stay at home parenting.

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.

Yes, but integrate child care into local institutions like school boards.

Yes, for all kids

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

More affordable daycare‘s. Or middle class should get some assistance as well

Yes, but not a one size fits all solution.

No, it should subsidize the creation of affordable childcare spaces to reduce the cost.
