As $10-a-day child care is rolling out across Canada, one of the major remaining stumbling blocks is that there simply aren’t enough child care spaces to meet the demand.
Dans ce qui promet d’être une transformation historique de la prestation des services de garde à l’enfance au Canada, le gouvernement fédéral finance un nouveau plan pancanadien de services de garde universellement accessibles en vertu duquel les frais de garde seront réduits de 50 % d’ici la fin de 2022 et ramenés à une moyenne de 10 $ par jour par enfant dans tous les services de garde réglementés d’ici 2025.
