A child care side door?
Just reading the child care announcement the Conservatives released early this week. It looks exactly like the description in their election campaign, but there is an interesting detail at the end of the document, emphasis mine:
If I was Stephen Harper I would be trying to push through a few tough-to-sell priorities while the Liberal party is in disarray, but all the same it would be a shame if this didn't get it's full share of debate in Parliament.
The net fiscal cost of these measures and details on the design of the Allowance will be provided in the Government’s first Budget.I presume that does not mean the budget is going to act as some kind of American-style omnibus bill with child care tacked on as a "rider".
