It might but probably won't. We need social programs to deliver material benefits as advertised, not just pay and hope we'd get something more than nothing. That just isn't good enough and it undermines the support for these programs. That's how we get a lot of people voting to cut social programs. The previous lib government dropped the ball on the $10/day childcare program by allowing the provinces to fuck it with a shovel. We voted for this, paid for it and many of us did not get what we were promised in return. The current lib government has not improved the situation. Continuing the funding for the program is the bare fucking minimum and it's still not good enough. Going after each other over being unhappy with the status quo isn't making any of it any better and it certainly doesn't make the program's future more secure. Real, material benefits delivered in people's lives is what does it.
