Tory Leadership: Immigration

Subsidized Child Care Dept: "If we invest in the right places in the beginning, then we don't have to deal with the long-term consequences later on," Redford said, according to Calgary Herald. Redford said she would spur more child care spots by creating a 10-year corporate tax exemption for new day care operators, and a personal tax exemption for all income earned by day care or day home employees and owners. Most provinces now have full-day kindergarten available, and Redford said she would introduce an optional full-day kindergarten program in Alberta within one year of forming government and a $1,500 recreation tax credit, subsidized child care for low-income families, and income-splitting for households with one stay-at-home parent are all part of provincial Tory leadership candidate Alison Redford's social policy platform released on Wednesday. Redford, one of six Alberta Progressive Conservative hopefuls, also said she would create a department of Human Services to encompass the work now provided by Children and Youth Services, Housing and Urban Affairs, Employment and Immigration, and Aboriginal Relations. Department spending would be indexed to inflation and population growth. As reported in the news.
