This is not true. The presence or absense of the daycare program does not affect their transfer payments. They choose to have higher taxation in order to support their daycare program. If you subscribe to the theory that increased labour participation due to the program increases their median incomes the program would actually reduce the amount of equalization they are entitled to.
