Key Issues

Child Care

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
