Do you support a national daycare policy?

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.

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.

Yes, if we can find a reliable way to fund it. Lower income people should be allowed to find affordable child care.

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.

Yes, our children deserved to be looked and cared for in safe environments, and parents should not have to worry affording it.

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.

Childcare should be free for anyone that is not rich and the government needs to listen to educators on how to make that possible

Yes, offering both free daycare for low-income and private daycare that cost

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.

No, this will drive small, private daycares and those that don’t allow government influence out of business

Daycare should be public and controlled by provincial governments in thae same way as public education is

Yes, but only for low income families and single parents but I also think that each province should decide and take in different factors.

No!! The money has to come from somewhere...us Stupid questions

Yes, our children deserve to be looked and cared for in safe environments, and parents should not have to worry about affording it.

No, because unfortunately the government cannot afford it

private businesses can deal with daycare

It should be provided but only for both working parents or single parents. Stay at home parents shouldn’t be provided with national daycare.

i dont have an opinion on this

More funding should be provided for families to be able to have a parent stay home with their own children

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

Provincially managed but with federal standards

Yes but we should also provide more funding for mothers to stay home to look after their children.

No, I don't believe that daycare is the best option for children

Only for those who need it

This would be cheaper if it were not nationalized as long as no monopolies in the market form

Yes, but only for those who cannot afford it

More funding should be provided to lower income families

Education is already daycare

Yes, but ensure individual is employed.

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.

No, daycare should be privatized

Yes, but only for low income families that have a low income due to no fault of their own

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.

Encourage parents to stay home with their kids.

Yes, but subsidize daycare establishments

As long if everyone can pay their bills their choice

Yes for everyone

To a maximum of 2 children per family

Yes as long as this does not mean less funding for day cares to make up for the parents reduced cost

Funding should be provided directly to low income or single parent families to allow for their choice in daycare.

again, increase the cost of living and this scenario wouldn't be necessary

Yes for all families. Not just the poor.

No, the workplace should provide daycare services

Only if its funded equally per person receiving. Quebec cannot reap the main benefits.

Yes, but organized through the provinces with funding transfers from the federal government.

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

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.

If implemented equal for all regardless of income.

No, rather provide free contraception and policies to promote having fewer children

Incremental subsidy based on personal income of parents.

Yes, but only once we can safely afford it

All daycares should be either municipally-funded or privately-funded

Make daycare cheaper/Government funded

Encourage stay-at-home parenting

All social government programs need an overhaul.

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

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!

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

No, but the government should cap childcare at $10/day.

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

Parents who want to stay home should be able to get funds instead of paying day cares.

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!

No, we should not encourage parents to shove their kids onto other people.

Yes, but offer the funds to parents if they choose not to use the daycare system

yes but with a lot of stipulations in regards to how the children are treated and i think it should be a federal system

Allow parents to decide

Yes and we should pay all childcare workers more money to match the work that they do and educations they receive

No, instead we should have universal child care funding

No. Government already has too much influence on the education system.

No, women should stay home with the kids

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.

Yes but it should be paid by the government, not included in taxes.

No, the responsibility of caring for a child should be on the shoulders of the parents of the children.

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.

Let each family decide

Do a tax credit or a payment instead because rural families can’t access the daycares

It should be based on income

This should be a provincial issue.

No kids-no opinion

if they get child support no

Yes, everyone who is working with young pre-school children should be offered socialized daycare.

Businesses should be encouraged/incentivised/mandated to provide this if they require employees with kids to be present or lose their jobs

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.

Day care should be easily accessible for everyone and there should be subsidies for single parent families and low income
