It says: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7822342\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Giving financial incentives to businesses to create spaces has been tried before and failed. It was such bad policy that even members of the minister's hand-picked advisory group raised objections and was roundly criticized when the government's policy folks conducted cross-country consultations on how it could be made to work. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7822343\" data-originallang=\"en\">The report goes on to say, \u201cThe fallout from Harper's child care policy will be felt for years to come. Federal transfers specifically designated for early learning and child care were reduced by almost 37% in 2007-08...In 2006, only 19.3% of children five and under had access to...child care\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7822344\" data-originallang=\"en\">The NDP and my colleague, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"278288\" href=\"/politicians/leah-gazan/\" title=\"Leah Gazan\">Winnipeg Centre</a>, had pushed the government and drove the agenda to get $10-a-day child care nationally.
