File photo. An advocacy group is calling on the Alberta government to withdraw from the federal government's $10-a-day child care plan.Earlier this week, Premier Danielle Smith wrote a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding the dental care plan. Smith said the CDCP “unnecessarily replicates” publicly funded dental coverage that is already available to many Albertans.
“The federal government announced $10/day childcare, then went to the provinces and negotiated vague agreements,” she said in a statement.Churcher’s association has pushed the province to steer clear of the federal government’s $10 per day child care deal. The reduced costs for parents come from a $30 billion deal that would eventually cut childcare costs for families to $10 a day by 2025.Churcher said operators aren’t getting enough funding to provide adequate programming.
Every province and territory has signed on to the deal. In exchange for the federal money, provinces had to implement the federal vision, which also sought to increase wages for child-care workers. Matt Jones, Alberta’s minister of jobs, economy and trade, told Global News in a statement that the province is committed to building a sustainable child-care system where providers can deliver “high-quality, accessible, affordable and inclusive services for Alberta families.”
