00:00:00.000 right now you're incentivizing people to not look after their own children the daycare program i
00:00:04.960 mean the government preferentially funds non-parental care especially daycare centers
00:00:10.160 like institutional care one child is getting like 30 40 50 000 worth of subsidizing for their care
00:00:17.360 and the other one who's being looked after by a parent gets zero because the government defines
00:00:22.000 child care to specifically exclude parental child care so so in a way this is financially
00:00:27.200 incentivizing parents to use the daycare facilities as opposed to taking care of your own child
00:00:32.320 yep they're definitely incentivizing institutional care the models that they sort of mentioned
00:00:39.120 include china vietnam cambodia and the soviet union as models of integrated early childhood education
00:00:46.400 and care there's no concern for children's well-being in that thinking what if you wanted
00:00:50.000 to use a grandparent or a nanny or a friend or whatever let's touch on the peer-reviewed research
00:00:56.080 and they found that children's health parents health is worse parent child conflict is worth
00:01:01.600 kids behavior like aggressive behavior and all is worse and that in the longer term study they found
00:01:07.120 that youth crime has increased compared to the rest of canada following the implementation of this program
00:01:12.960 this basically was a massive experiment a huge social experiment on quebec that didn't happen in
00:01:17.680 other places so they could just compare the statistics that are out there and this is what
00:01:21.520 they concluded and it's harming kids and it's harming parents and it's making mothers more
00:01:25.040 depressed also that was another thing and more marital conflict it's an all-round bad thing
00:01:29.680 so that's the peer-reviewed research i mean and there's other peer-reviewed research so you know
00:01:33.680 the more time a child spends in a daycare center the more risk-taking behavior at age 15 the more
00:01:39.040 aggression and all the rest of it at younger ages it's it's it's why are we doing this because
00:01:43.600 there's a lot of research out there that's not peer-reviewed and that's the stuff the government
00:01:47.440 uses it's it's just it's garbage research that's often published by or written by phds or it could
00:01:54.880 be like the bank i think the td bank and the royal bank publish this stuff and the canadian council for
00:02:01.120 policy alternatives and all the daycare lobby people publish this stuff and it might have somebody some
00:02:05.840 doctorate sign off on it uh but it's not peer-reviewed and it's it flies in the face of all the peer-reviewed
00:02:13.440 evidence
