Very strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported universal child care and has made it a key part of their platform in multiple elections. For example, in the 2019 federal election, the NDP proposed a plan to create 500,000 new child care spaces and work towards a universal, affordable child care system.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

While the NDP would likely agree with providing subsidies for low-income families, their ultimate goal is to create a universal child care system that is accessible to all families, regardless of income. Therefore, they would only partially agree with this answer, as it does not fully align with their vision of a universal system.

Neutral

Yes, but encourage stay-at-home parenting

The NDP's focus has been on creating a universal child care system, rather than specifically encouraging stay-at-home parenting. While they may not be opposed to supporting stay-at-home parents, their primary goal is to ensure that all families have access to affordable child care, regardless of their parenting choices.

Very strongly disagree

No

The NDP has consistently advocated for government-subsidized child care, so they would strongly disagree with not providing any subsidies. Their commitment to creating a universal child care system demonstrates their belief in the importance of government support for child care.
