Speaking of daycare and BC, it sounds like the $10 program might be falling apart.
Quote:
The B.C. government announced on Tuesday that it is pressing pause on one of its longstanding promises: universal $10-a-day child care.
The province is putting a three-year freeze on that program.
New enrolment is being paused and there won’t be any further expansion of spaces.
The province says the goal is to stabilize the program, instead of rolling it back and moving to income-tested eligibility.
“We are hearing from families that it’s a lottery system,” B.C. Education Minister Lisa Beare told Global News.
“We’re hearing from operators that we don’t have the operating model quite right. There is an equity in the system.
“We’ve been talking to the federal government and our provincial and territorial partners about the sustainability and the inflexibility in the program. You know, so these are all things that need to be addressed.”
