The Cardus research report, Look Before You Leap, estimates national daycare could cost in the range of $17 billion to $36.3 billion annually by 2026, depending how the program is established.

Christians joined disability advocates and UN experts to oppose amendment, but failed to stop it. Despite the concerted political effort, Bill C-7 passed the House of Commons last month by a vote of 180–149. “Most Christians have come to grips with the fact that we are actually in a pluralistic society in which many of the points of view that they hold are minority perspectives and not majority perspectives,” said Ray Pennings, executive vice president of Cardus.

The federal government is diving into the deep end of child care, promising billions in new spending for provinces to create spaces and drive down fees. However, Andrea Mrozek, senior fellow at policy think tank Cardus contends, "All families will pay for the plan, but only families who choose or can access the type of care the federal government favours receive the subsidized benefit."
