@8NWCQ2B4yrs4Y
Why should I pay to raise your kids. We raise our own kids. If you can’t afford to have kids then dont
@9WYDMSD3wks3W
Yes, its important for everyone to have free easy access to daycares so parents can focus on making money to give their children a better chance at life. we should always encourage stay at home parenting tho.
@9VRBTLC1mo1MO
No, the government should instead cut taxes so that people can afford to send their kids to daycare. I don't want a woke far left wing government being in my child's daycare center.
@9KG9KSM9mos9MO
Yes, if we can find a reliable way to fund it. Lower income people should be allowed to find affordable child care.
@9HCP7QV12mos12MO
No. The government should not be injecting itself into family matters or in the business of rearing people’s children. Cut taxes and spending so people can afford to raise their own children without state interference.
@9GYSNHD1yr1Y
Yes, our children deserved to be looked and cared for in safe environments, and parents should not have to worry affording it.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
For a national policy, it would mostly be standards for each province to make sure that there are goals met for every child in terms of funding and care.
@9FRKFKN1yr1Y
Childcare should be free for anyone that is not rich and the government needs to listen to educators on how to make that possible
@9F8BGJM1yr1Y
Yes, offering both free daycare for low-income and private daycare that cost
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
Daycare should be free for every child. Children should have free access to preschool and day care. It's unfair to have parents pay money to have someone look after their child when they are forced to work to make ends meet.
@9KBWSK89mos9MO
No, this will drive small, private daycares and those that don’t allow government influence out of business
@9JZP7TY9mos9MO
Daycare should be public and controlled by provincial governments in thae same way as public education is
@9JM6BQQ10mos10MO
Yes, but only for low income families and single parents but I also think that each province should decide and take in different factors.
@8WPZ6863yrs3Y
No!! The money has to come from somewhere...us Stupid questions
@93QZV7Z2yrs2Y
Yes, our children deserve to be looked and cared for in safe environments, and parents should not have to worry about affording it.
@8DBP8TM4yrs4Y
No, because unfortunately the government cannot afford it
@8CVTD6Z4yrs4Y
private businesses can deal with daycare
@8VK3V5D3yrs3Y
It should be provided but only for both working parents or single parents. Stay at home parents shouldn’t be provided with national daycare.
@8SFWYKW4yrs4Y
i dont have an opinion on this
@8M939K24yrs4Y
More funding should be provided for families to be able to have a parent stay home with their own children
@96QP3KD2yrs2Y
this is just a bandaid on the fact that corporations and capitalism care more about exess value then our lives. This should be a short term solution to the problem of a lack of a living wage
@9434QJX2yrs2Y
Provincially managed but with federal standards
@93WL6VF2yrs2Y
Yes but we should also provide more funding for mothers to stay home to look after their children.
@93HTDKG2yrs2Y
No, I don't believe that daycare is the best option for children
@8YRX8JV3yrs3Y
Only for those who need it
@8XZYC7Y3yrs3Y
This would be cheaper if it were not nationalized as long as no monopolies in the market form
@8VV2P573yrs3Y
Yes, but only for those who cannot afford it
@8VPHHHJ3yrs3Y
More funding should be provided to lower income families
@8VM7YC33yrs3Y
Education is already daycare
@8VLG64N3yrs3Y
Yes, but ensure individual is employed.
@8VK33KS3yrs3Y
It should be based on income and for workers only. No daycare should be possible for stay at home parents or welfare citizens. Or give access to these two groups but without subsidies.
@8VJNWNB3yrs3Y
No, daycare should be privatized
@8VJ2V7V3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for low income families that have a low income due to no fault of their own
@8VHLQFB3yrs3Y
I don't have children but it seems important to a lot of families. I think this is just a band aid. We need to strike a balance between earning potential and cost of living so families don't require a lot of unaffordable day care and can spend more time with their loved ones.
@8VGZD3HConservative3yrs3Y
Encourage parents to stay home with their kids.
@8VGTVB43yrs3Y
Yes, but subsidize daycare establishments
@8VDGRKT3yrs3Y
As long if everyone can pay their bills their choice
@8V9959JNew Democratic3yrs3Y
To a maximum of 2 children per family
@8V6KV7SConservative3yrs3Y
Yes as long as this does not mean less funding for day cares to make up for the parents reduced cost
@8V58MRJ3yrs3Y
Funding should be provided directly to low income or single parent families to allow for their choice in daycare.
@8V2X3T33yrs3Y
again, increase the cost of living and this scenario wouldn't be necessary
@8TZBQTH3yrs3Y
Yes for all families. Not just the poor.
@8TYWCQ83yrs3Y
No, the workplace should provide daycare services
@8TYQGSC3yrs3Y
Only if its funded equally per person receiving. Quebec cannot reap the main benefits.
@Steeviemac3yrs3Y
Yes, but organized through the provinces with funding transfers from the federal government.
@8TX333D3yrs3Y
Yes, in addition to policies that allow families to truly choose if they want to return to work or stay at home to raise their children for a few years
@8TQD5PR3yrs3Y
Yes, but similar to the educational system, there should be private and public daycares in which there is free childcare, but higher quality establishments for families who will pay for higher standards.
@8TNJXJK3yrs3Y
If implemented equal for all regardless of income.
@8TJQYBB3yrs3Y
No, rather provide free contraception and policies to promote having fewer children
@8TFVW57New Democratic3yrs3Y
Incremental subsidy based on personal income of parents.
@8T66NK93yrs3Y
Yes, but only once we can safely afford it
All daycares should be either municipally-funded or privately-funded
@8S8V8KH4yrs4Y
Make daycare cheaper/Government funded
@8RLZ9JT4yrs4Y
Encourage stay-at-home parenting
@8QWBJC64yrs4Y
All social government programs need an overhaul.
@8PYFGKY4yrs4Y
yes but each province should decide on how the policy is and only if we can afford it mostly.
YES! For working families that really deserve the incentives. Please put more effort into evaluating people that are manipulating the system. We have been allowing people to take advantage of our social systems while hard working citizens that are contributing to our government
Yes, but it should be mandatory that children are vaccinated to be able to be part of the program
@8PJMGYM4yrs4Y
Let each province decided, but my personal stance is no, we should focus on reducing spending, debt and deficit, but if we are going to support this than it should be for those who really need it only!
@8PCRLKV4yrs4Y
Families should be able to rely on daycare policies wether if there low income families or single parents. It doesn't matter who they are parents should have equal polices in daycare
@8P4JRW84yrs4Y
No, but the government should cap childcare at $10/day.
@8K28GMB4yrs4Y
Yes but stop just creating childcare spaces and start creating a workforce that’s will stay. No point in opening childcare centres with no teachers or no qualified teachers available with low pay no recognition no pension
@8H88ZMBNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Parents who want to stay home should be able to get funds instead of paying day cares.
@8GYLS3Z4yrs4Y
We should be providing income supplements to parents who choose to stay home with their children instead of going to work. Kids need their parents!
@8GCGQP74yrs4Y
No, we should not encourage parents to shove their kids onto other people.
@8FLFBSN4yrs4Y
Yes, but offer the funds to parents if they choose not to use the daycare system
@8DRN8XZ4yrs4Y
yes but with a lot of stipulations in regards to how the children are treated and i think it should be a federal system
@8DNCJ3B4yrs4Y
@9CCVGFR1yr1Y
Yes and we should pay all childcare workers more money to match the work that they do and educations they receive
@2CQ5M4X2yrs2Y
No, instead we should have universal child care funding
No. Government already has too much influence on the education system.
@99C3XJKConservative2yrs2Y
No, women should stay home with the kids
@996L2JH2yrs2Y
No, that depends on the ideas of each individual family
Yes. It's a very fiscally responsible thing to do, as children who are in early childhood education help develop many skills early on, and become more capable later on in life, but it also helps advance gender equality within the workforce, as more women can go to work, and fill in labour gaps which can help ease a lot of the tensions, and labour shortages in our economy which will only grow in the coming years.
@986RT3S2yrs2Y
Yes but it should be paid by the government, not included in taxes.
@98647882yrs2Y
No, the responsibility of caring for a child should be on the shoulders of the parents of the children.
@97KVS782yrs2Y
Only if it's paid from the government themselves and not my own taxes. Otherwise, everyone shouldn't be forced to pay for other peoples children.
Yes, but it has to be on all levels, with provinces able to contribute, as well as cities/indigenous governments, as well as the federal government coming to a consensus.
@8V526FG3yrs3Y
@8VRHTMD3yrs3Y
Do a tax credit or a payment instead because rural families can’t access the daycares
@8TVQ8DH3yrs3Y
It should be based on income
@8T55ZT53yrs3Y
This should be a provincial issue.
@8HLRYC54yrs4Y
if they get child support no
@8DC736T4yrs4Y
Yes, everyone who is working with young pre-school children should be offered socialized daycare.
@LDXVTV4yrs4Y
Businesses should be encouraged/incentivised/mandated to provide this if they require employees with kids to be present or lose their jobs
@LDMQGN4yrs4Y
Kids needs their parents to be physically and psychologically present most of the time. The problem is about being forced to work all the time, not about having daycare services.
@LW97WL4yrs4Y
Day care should be easily accessible for everyone and there should be subsidies for single parent families and low income
