Can some explain Quebec $7.40 daycare system. Lot of questions.

How you financially manage on $7.40 from parent and $28 from government and no more than 6 ? With expenses for food and other standard supplies, earning about $27 per child before taxes.

?? Where I am, it is the poorest region in Quebec, so housing costs are lower. My whole mortgage probably cost less than a garden shed in Toronto. But I have no idea how the ladies in the cities do it. In 2005, the subsidy was $17.50. And this is one of the main reasons we unionized. Your question is valid, and it is something we all struggle with every day. I haven't even started talking about the paperwork and the administration of the program and our relationships with the COs.

Oh and it's actually, $7.30 from parents and $27.85 from subsidy. And my take home income is way less than $27.
