Saskatchewan is a great place to live and raise a family, but for far too many families, life has been made harder by the Sask. Party.
They're threatening “austerity measures,” meaning cuts to the things families rely on, while the NDP are committed to putting people first.
For the last several months, we've heard from many parents who have had to choose between their careers and taking care of their families.
The basics, such as accessible childcare, are becoming more and more unaffordable under the Sask. Party.
That's why today, I announced a commitment to deliver accessible and affordable childcare to Saskatchewan families.
Our plan commits an NDP government to:
✅ Transitioning existing spaces to $25/day
✅ 2,200 new spaces at $25/day each year over 4 years,
✅ Assembling a panel of experts, workers, & families to improve our early learning & childcare system from the bottom up, addressing needs like recruiting & retaining staff, affordability & availability of care, wages of workers, & fixing the problems with the current subsidy.
This is how, together, we build a better future for Saskatchewan people.
