Most prefer child care to cheques: poll [1]
Excerpts from the press release:
A poll reveals Canadians prefer a national child care system to the Harper government's $100 monthly cheque by a ratio of 2 to 1.
The Harper government established its "Universal Child Care Benefit" when they cancelled the Liberals plans for a national early childhood education and child care program.
Almost twice as many Canadians said that setting up the national early childhood education and child care program is preferable (58%) to a monthly allowance of $100.00 (31%).
Nanos Research conducted a random telephone survey of 1,201 Canadians from October 4 to October 6, 2008.
