Families, Children and Social Development

During question period on families, children and social development, Garnett Genuis of the Conservatives highlighted his party’s proposal to let both parents simultaneously claim the CPP child-rearing dropout, so parents who share caregiving at home would not have their pensions reduced, and asked the government to include it in the next budget. Leslie Church of the Liberals replied that the government had delivered longer parental leave options, shared parental benefits, and support for working families, and cited the national child care program as saving some families more than $16,000 a year, which she said the member opposes.Written by AI from the debate.
