Give the money to the sick instead of the hospitals, the river crossers instead of the bridge-builders, the people whose houses are burning instead of the firefighters.

All joking aside, if the policy advocated here worked, the childcare problem would have been largely solved by the Canada Child Benefit. It doesn’t and it wasn’t.
When our kids were daycare age, it cost @jodilhbutts and I just south of $30k per year in High Park, Toronto — in 2008/9/10! We could afford it. Most cannot, and no tax policy is going to fix that.
I’ve been learning from childcare experts and economists on this topic for 20 years, since the development of full day JK by Premier McGuinty. The per child subsidy to parents just doesn’t solve the problem. It’s a tried and failed policy.
