A Canada-wide early learning and child care system

Early learning and child care is the national economic policy we need now.

It’s social infrastructure that will drive jobs and growth. It’s feminist economic policy, and it’s smart economic policy.

That’s why the Liberal government’s 2021 Budget makes a generational investment of almost $30 billion over five years (with permanent ongoing funding) to build a high-quality, affordable and accessible early learning and child care system across Canada.

We are a country that believes in investing in our future, in our children, and in our young parents. While Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives want to take us backward, this plan aims to reduce fees for parents with children in regulated child care by 50% on average by 2022, with a goal of reaching $10 per day by five years from now.

With agreements already in place in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Yukon, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, the Liberal government is making real progress to ensure that all children from coast to coast to coast have equal access to the quality learning and care they need to succeed.
