This is basically $1200, saying we support parents having kids, here is some help.
Who cares if it's for daycare, or diapers.

Read the whole post. I agree it is not the govm't's responsibility to raise my kid.
Want to put forth a real plan that encourages private daycare for those that need it - increase the tax break, currently a max of $4000 per year per kid as a child care deduction, and instead of creating a new "$1200 child care" cheque, increase the 'baby bonus' cheque (no new beaurocracy in that) to $1200 - which is tied to household income so those on the low end get more.
In other newa - Paul Martin is desperate - can't win the daycare debate, can't win the tax cut debate, can't win the health care debate, going to get burned on Integrity, senior's policy and Unity, so.........he is calling on Harper to clearify his stance on gay marriage.
will it ever end.
