People want daycare reform or better rules.. how about this.. instead of subsidy.. offer mothers/Fathers the subsidy or funding to stay home with their kids. Imagine the social benefits and money saved from crime, heath care, obesity issues.. just to name a few. Money currently used in others programs can and should be opened up to ALL income brackets to help families to stay together and raise children. Not all will want this funding but for those that do it is a GREAT step towards rebuilding our families and our children. If you agree please help us by letting your voice stand.

The increase in support has moved this proposal into the offices of several policy analysts currently reviewing alternative family funding models. My next step is a briefing with a representative from the parliamentary committee to present our framework for direct household subsidies.

Finally some logic. Keep families together. My wife would love to be home with our baby but we just cant afford the loss of income.

Yes!! Daycare is way to expensive and my kids miss me so much when I am at work. We need this.

it would be so much better for the daycare waitlists too. people who actually want to stay home shouldnt have to struggle while everyone else gets the subsidy.

kids grow up too fast for someone else to be doing the parenting. give us the choice.

Exactly. Let parents raise their own kids. The government shouldn't be paying strangers to do it for us.
