As part of the Supply and Confidence Agreement with the minority Liberal government, we forced the Liberals to introduce the Early Learning and Child Care Act that priorizes non-profit and public spaces for affordable child care.
New Democrats will continue to fight to give families relief. Every parent across Canada should have access to affordable child care.
As businesses and the economy continue to re-open, New Democrats MPs are calling on the federal government to invest in building a universal child care and early learning system that delivers the help families need to go back to work.
“Canadians have been through a lot in the last few weeks. As people begin to go back to work we have to make sure they’re getting the support they need,” said NDP MP Gord Johns (Courtenay–Alberni). “Liberals have been promising child care since 1993 – that’s 26 years! Enough is enough. It’s time for the Liberals to stop making empty promises and actually make meaningful investments in child care.”
