Child-care debate hits close to home for Finley

-- The debate over the best way the government can aid parents needing child care hits close to home for Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Diane Finley.
The Member of Parliament for Haldimand-Norfolk is heading up the introduction of the Conservative’s new child-care program. The gist of the program is to provide parents a direct subsidy of $1,200 a year per child under six and spend $125 million to create more child-care spaces. The new program replaces the former Liberal government’s plan for a national day-care registry.

But the head of the agency that oversees licensed day care in Finely’s riding disagrees with the direction the Conservative government is headed. --
