“This report proves that what we’ve been saying is true - there is no legitimate economic recovery plan without a plan for childcare."

This is a complete failure by Jason Kenney and the UCP to support families and the child care sector through unprecedented times.
The report from the Canadian Child Care Federation and the Muttart Foundation points out consecutive budget cuts to the Ministry of Children’s Services.
Fifty-six per cent of Alberta child care centres reported receiving none of their normal government funding, by far the highest rate among all provinces. This compares to nine per cent in Ontario, eight per cent in B.C., and 13 per cent nationally.
