BY LifeSiteNews.com TORONTO, Aug 4 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a nation-wide survey conducted last month to track Canadians’ views on the state of family life, COMPAS found an intensified concern about the state of family life. Today, 75% of Canadians believe that “family life today is in crisis,” up from 61% two and a half years ago (December, 1997), said a report released Monday. The study, commissioned by the Calgary and Toronto-based National Foundation for Family Research and Education, found that by huge margins Canadians want all childcare subsidies to be directed to parents themselves to decide the best child care arrangements for their offspring. In December, 1997, advocates of funds to parents outnumbered by more than 2:1 advocates of funds to daycare only. Today, the ratio in favour of parental subsidies has nearly doubled—to almost 4:1. Conrad Winn, one of Compas’ principal investigators, told LifeSite that at least three other polls in the past two years have also confirmed that Canadians want government action to put money in the hands of parents rather than being transferred to daycare institutions. The poll shows that women are especially concerned about the state of the family. Canadian men and women alike believe today, as they did in December, 1997, that not enough family time and strained financial resources are serious threats to the quality of family life. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/large-majority-of-canadians-want-money-for-parentsnot-daycare/
