Liberals up the ante.
This is like a bidding war. Jack? Stephen? Do I hear 7 Billion??
Paul Martin was in Saint John today to announce a Liberal Government would kick in another 6 Billion dollars for child-care, in 2009 when the current funding ends. This comes the day after Stephen Harper announced if he was elected, a Conservative government would give parents of small children $1200 annually for childcare. Both are good promises, but both could be improved on. Anything that helps with childcare, daycare is good for Canadians IMO. However, I personally like the Liberal plan better,of the two, as the money is directly invested in the system. The conservative plan is more like a "baby bonus" cheque, which won't necessarily be spent where it is intended to be by all parents. That said, finally some policy instead of the same old crap they have been trying to slide by with.
