Many families struggle with the cost of child care. For 13 years, Liberals promised but never delivered new child care spaces. Conservatives are giving parents choice in childcare – direct support to fit each family’s unique needs – and investing in new child care spaces.
Conservatives are building a stronger, safer, better Canada for families and children.
The Conservative Record
 | Delivered choice and support to parents through the Universal Child Care Benefit: $1,200 per year in direct support for every child under six – over $3.7 billion in 2006 and 2007 to help parents with the cost of child care |
| Invested $250 million per year to assist the provinces and territories in creating new child care spaces |
The Liberal Record
 | For 13 years, Liberals promised new child care spaces but never delivered. |
| Liberals oppose the new $1,200 Universal Child Care Benefit and have promised to take it away from thousands of families. |
| Liberals voted against $250 million per year for the provinces to create new child care spaces. |
The NDP Record
| New Democrats joined the Liberals in opposing the 2006 and 2007 budgets including the Universal Child Care Benefit and $250 million per year for new child care spaces. |
| The NDP plan for child care puts interest groups, bureaucrats, and politicians ahead of parents when it comes to federal funding assistance. |
The Bloc Record
| The Bloc talks a lot about child care. But what can they actually do other than talk? With the BLOC, we can’t achieve anything. |
For Canadians, the choice is clear: strong leadership and the real support with the Conservatives or weak leadership and no support with the Liberals.
