S.20.3-16: Family Opportunity Fund Act (Law'd)

[thumb21]

I like the idea a lot, it is an absolute priority that all families and children get the support they need, its an important investment in our region's future.

I do agree with WB that we should look at estimates of how much the tax generates vs how much spending this will result in. One thing that might be useful is seeing if the comptroller general can do a few different estimates based on varying ways of getting revenue, perhaps adding another bracket further up the income scale - plus estimates of how much different monthly amounts of universal child dividend is given would cost. That would help us a lot with reaching some sort of balance.

One thing I am not entirely sure on, but what is the definition of child that we are using for the purpose of this bill?
