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
