Where’s the Child Care?

October 14, 2024

The Where’s Child Care? campaign aims to engage the Canadian public with our call for the expansion of a public and not-for-profit early learning and child care system. The great news is that as of February 29, 2024, Canada’s federal government passed Bill C-35 an Act respecting Early Learning and Child Care. This landmark legislation affirms in law the Government of Canada’s commitment to build a primarily not-for-profit and public system of early learning and child care that provides accessible, inclusive and low-fee child care services for all in Canada. The passage of the legislation is a significant victory for child care advocates who have been calling for a federal child care law as recommended more than 50 years ago by the Royal Commission on the Status of Women.
