Apparently he just made a statement about the nanny thing, but I haven't seen the transcript yet. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 12:00 12
- Basically, "We have different family requirements than the Harpers did. Overall 24 Sussex budget remains the same." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 9, 12:09 10
  - That's fine, but the real issue is that there's a difference between childcare for a PM's family and everyone having access to government childcare. - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 9, 12:19 5
    - Using that argument though, wouldn't it logically extend childcare support to all cabinet, maybe even senior bureaucrats? All MPs? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 9, 12:27 4
      - There's controversy in the Alberta leg because one of the new MLAs is pregnant - Reagen Dec 9, 13:28
      - No, though there's certainly a discussion to be had about what family support is needed for people in those positions. -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 9, 12:32
      - i don't know how it works, but is he provided just a flat number for household budget and can allocate as needed? - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:28 1
        
        The household compliment has risen over the years. First time a chef was added it was controversial, but now standard. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 9, 12:36
  - so what did they cut out of the budget to allow for the hot nanny? Poutine? -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:10 2
    - They're living in alternative digs because the PM's residence needs a huge reno. Maybe that has lower running costs -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 9, 12:21
    - Well, I'm guessing it wasn't hair products. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 12:16
  - fair enough. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:10
- did he take pointers from Ben Affleck ? -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:02
