We'll make
families a priority...
"Because of social and economic changes, many families are facing high debt, stress, bankruptcy and burnout. A Reform Government will recognize the value of families as the most important building block in our society. So you can spend less time under pressure, and more time with those you care about most."

OUR COMMITMENT TO CANADIANS

A Reform Government will:
- Make families a priority, and ensure that government policies and regulations are family-friendly
- Extend the $3,000-$5,000 child care deduction to all parents, including those who care for their children at home
- Increase the Spousal Amount from $5,380 to $7,900, leveling the field for parents who choose to stay at home to look after young children, and helping families meet the needs of a more demanding economy
- Help provinces and local governments ensure that deadbeat parents live up to their responsibility to support their children when families break down. And we will ensure that agreements concerning access to children are respected and enforced
- Enact a "zero-tolerance policy" on family violence
- Crack down on child prostitution and child pornography
