There is an urgent need for affordable child care in Canada. Our caucus has heard the call loud and clear.
In 2014, it’s unacceptable that many families have to pay more for child care than they do for rent. We will be proposing a practical plan to address the needs of parents across Canada.
We have launched a broader consultation through the summer. We kicked off consultations on early childhood education and child care with parents, experts and community activists.
The federal government has to be an active partner with provinces in order to help parents. After 30 years of promising and yet failing to deliver we are putting forward real solutions.
In 2014 there is no excuse that so many parents can’t access licensed, quality child care.
In the coming weeks, we will be announcing the details of a national child care program.
It is time to act. For Canadian kids. For Canadian families.
