Trudeau’s Resignation: Child Care Boost Fuels Unexpected Hero Status
Before leaving office, Prime Minister Trudeau announced a $36.8-billion, five-year extension to the $10-a-day child-care program, extending its reach to 2031. Eleven of thirteen provinces and territories have agreed to the extension, with Alberta and Saskatchewan expressing concerns regarding funding levels and program structure. While some provinces, like Ontario, highlight significant funding gaps, the extension aims to solidify the program as a cornerstone of Canadian social policy.
