SURREY, B.C. — The federal government's pre-budget charm offensive is back for a second straight day — this time aimed at parents and child care providers.
"This is a brand new program that we are building because as a government, we decided and we knew that access to affordable, high-quality child care was important right across the country, not just so kids can get the best start in life, not just because it contributes to our economic growth, but because families, particularly moms, shouldn't have to choose between a career and raising a family.
The government will also offer student loan forgiveness to rural and remote early childhood educators and another $10 million over two years to bolster their ranks with extra training. "We're going to continue to work constructively with all provinces but recognize that because the federal Conservatives are consistently standing against child care, conservative premiers are in some cases slow walking and in some cases not delivering to the right level, because they're listening to their federal brethren."
