HALIFAX, March 15, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A federal Conservative government proposal to allow parental choice in childcare has been met with criticism from some provinces such as Liberal-held Ontario, while new Nova Scotia Conservative Premier Rodney MacDonald supports the idea.

“I . . . outlined our government’s support for a blended approach to child care, supporting both stay-at-home parents and day cares,” he said in his first news column as premier, which appeared in The Chronicle-Herald. MacDonald, 34, took over from retiring Premier John Hamm two weeks ago.

“We all want what’s best for our families,” he added.
