What an insult to the over 1.4 million families that benefit from this program.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"958472\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our plan helps parents pay for the type of care that is best for their families, and it has lifted approximately 55,000 children out of low income status.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"958473\" data-originallang=\"en\">The previous Liberal government promised a so-called national child care program in every election since 1993. Sheila Copps said it right when she said, \u201cThe Liberal plan is a cash cow for government while families are cash poor\u201d. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"958474\" data-originallang=\"en\">As our <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> has said:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"958475\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Children aren\u2019t raised in academic faculties or government offices or the boardrooms of social activists. Children are raised in families, so that\u2019s where the money flows. </p>\n</blockquote>",

C'est insultant pour les quelque 1,4 million de familles qui b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient de ce programme.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"958472\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre programme aide les parents \u00e0 payer les co\u00fbts des soins qu'ils estiment \u00eatre les meilleurs pour leurs enfants et il a sorti environ 55 000 enfants de la cat\u00e9gorie des familles \u00e0 faible revenu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"958473\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans toutes ses campagnes \u00e9lectorales depuis 1993, le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent a promis un soi-disant programme national de garderies. Sheila Copps avait bien raison de dire que le plan lib\u00e9ral \u00e9tait une vache \u00e0 lait pour le gouvernement, alors que les familles n'avaient pas d'argent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"958474\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> l'a dit:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"958475\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les enfants ne sont pas \u00e9lev\u00e9s dans des facult\u00e9s universitaires, des bureaux gouvernementaux ou les salles de conf\u00e9rence d'activistes sociaux. Les enfants sont \u00e9lev\u00e9s par des familles, et c'est l\u00e0 que l'argent doit aller. </p>\n</blockquote>"
