I would prefer a larger rebate on my childcare expenses. Single income homes while they sound great are not a practical option. One cannot afford to live in urban areas with only one income unless you either live in a slum or make enough to live in a mansion.
I am not confident that a national daycare is the solution. I would rather see a growth in not-for-profit daycares associated with Schools or better after school programs for older kids (grade one and up).
