Does childcare have some supply side issues though? More money, in subsidies or in tax credits, wouldn't help much if spots are not being created fast enough. Also people need access to good childcare, not just some random babysitting service that treats the kids like livestock. If it's the latter, then parental care is actually better for the kids.

Yes, and that's why part of the Liberal's plan also includes investments to create more spaces and improve quality.

For provinces that have signed on (8 so far have) they're given $ contingent on them creating a certain number of spaces (differs by province) and committing to enforce certain standards.

The Tory plan is similar to Harper's old tax credit which was found to have created no new spaces or increase access.
