July 8, 2021: Canada announces first early learning and child care agreement with the province of British Columbia

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and the Premier of British Columbia, John Horgan, today announced an agreement that will significantly improve early learning and child care for children in the province. As part of this agreement, the Government of Canada will invest $3.2 billion over the next five years to help improve regulated early learning and child care for children under 6 years of age in British Columbia.

July 12: Nova Scotia child-care fees to drop to $10 a day by 2026 under new $605M deal --- New federal-provincial agreement will also reduce fees by half by the end of next year

Nova Scotia is the second province, behind British Columbia last week, to sign on to a federal offer from April that pledged $27.2 billion over five years in new spending that Ottawa aims to send to provinces to subsidize daycares. Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the declaration during a press conference on Tuesday morning where $605 million in federal funding was being promised.

Quote from: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Today’s agreement with Nova Scotia is a big step forward to making $10-a-day child care a reality across the province, and delivering much-needed support to families and communities as we build back better from the pandemic.
