Poll Shows Canadians Rejecting Government Child Care Allowance
CCAAC & Environics Research 20 Jun 06 - The results of a poll released today show that Canadians are rejecting Stephen Harper’s plan to distribute a $1,200 child allowance to parents with children under six years of age. The Environics poll asked more than 2,000 Canadians their views on child care and the response was clear – 76% of Canadians support a national affordable child care strategy such as the 2004 federal-provincial agreement that was cancelled by the Conservative government.
