Child care in Canada

Harper on the Conservative child care initiative from CTV

"It's going to take us a year to put the space creation plan in place. But as I say, we're willing to consult with parents on the best way to proceed over this year," he said.

Notice that Harper says his government is going to consult with parents not provinces. This is a breath of fresh air. Empowering parents to make their own choices and not having a government force choices down their throats or having to put up with more bureaucracy.

Yes, there are going to be challenges. But now that the power is in the hands of the people then organizations that provide child care and governments will have to start listening better.

I just hope the Ontario government doesn't confiscate and steal the money that Ontario Works recipients will be getting from this child care plan.

That would be just too Ontario wouldn't it?
