I think everyone acknowledges that a dividend cheque sent to a toddler is going to be spent by the parent, not the child. So the proposed dividend system will be setup so that one class of citizen (parents with young children) will receive a greater share of the 20% dividend pot than everyone else (childless Albertans or parents with adult children).

Since parents with young children have more mouths to feed I don't see why it would be a big deal if the parents got a greater share. Unless you are afraid they will spend all the money on the new Ipad and let their children starve.
