You're missing the point.
It doesn't matter how much they are getting back if they don't have a job, or hope to grow a business, etc. The data is clear that child care costs are NOT what is making the birth rate fall, it's the poor economic outlook.
Until we remove the barriers to economic growth the subsidy for daycare is irrelevant.
Lower the tax burden for job creators. Get a pipeline built. Stand up for Alberta's economic interests. Stop piling on debt/future taxes without reason.
Those are the things that will help families the most.
