Leslie Church Liberal
“The member says he supports families, but he voted against cheaper child care. Our child care program saves Alberta families over $10,000 a year. We also improved parental leave, brought in paid sick days, and supported equal pay for women. He opposed all of those things.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is a bit rich for that member to stand up and talk about supports for parents and families, when he does not support affordable early learning and child care in his very province. It is a program that is delivering for thousands of children right across the province and saving families in Alberta over $10,000 on the cost of their child care in a given year. On this side of the House, we have enhanced maternity and paternity benefits. We have brought in paid sick days. We have increased pay equity for women and for families. That member has stood against all of those measures.”
