“After months of consistent pressure through worker-led advocacy, public pressure, and press engagement, CUPE – alongside community allies – pushed Scott Moe to finally do what should have been done long ago: renew the $10-a-day child care agreement. We made it clear that the delay was unacceptable, and the government had no choice but to act.
“This deal didn’t happen by accident. We fought hard to make sure the government signed on. Now, the real work begins.
Signing the agreement is only step one. This government needs a serious plan to create more child care spaces, especially in rural communities. Affordable child care means nothing if families can’t access it.
“CUPE will continue to advocate for a strong, publicly funded child care system that works for every family and child care worker.”
