Negatives, it is seen as a massive handout for the premium expensive daycares and killing local dayhomes.
Logic: If daycare is more affordable across the board than the 2nd parent can work more, instead of keeping their salary low to get a larger subsidy at a cheaper place.
High income earners are paying into the system that's subsidizing daycare, they could get the benefits too.

You may be interested to know that at a recent town hall several UCP MLAs complained that they aren’t even fans of this program. I don’t know how much of their disapproval was due to the actual program or just it being a product of the federal liberals’ policy but it’s still comical to see someone using it as an argument for things they’ve done well when the UCP don’t even like the program.
But yay for corporate tax cuts in exchange for higher property taxes, wage suppression, gutting worker protections, kicking AISH recipients in the balls and trying to appease the leader of a country that is actively trying to cause us undue economic hardship?
