Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The Harper Government will be tabling its 2009 Budget and we want him to 
know that investments in early learning and child care must be made a 
priority as part of a "stimulus" package to help Canadian families 
better balance work and family. We need each and everyone of you to 
complete the federal government's on-line budget submission 
<http://www.ccaac.ca/pdf/campaign/Online%20Federal%20Budget%20Submission_Dec08.pdf> 
*Please* *take a few minutes right now and tell the Minister of Finance 
your views and priorities* for the 2009 federal budget.  Let the 
government know that quality, affordable, inclusive child care services 
are key to Canada's economic recovery, along with other social 
infrastructure investments. You will notice that you can rate your 
priorities from a list of options presented and then add a priority of 
your own. Make your priority for early learning and child care your 
number "1" priority and then rate the remaining list.  Let's make child 
care an issue for the Federal Budget
