The Public Service Alliance of Canada is urging all levels of government to adopt a universival, affordable and accessible child care system for all Canadians. 

As it stands now, the majority of parents must rely on a patchwork of largely unregulated childcare, with no guarantee of quality.  

Parents often scramble to find a spot, and must sometimes rely on family, friends and a host of other inadequate solutions. Even when families are fortunate enough to find a licensed child care spot, it can cost them nearly a quarter of their take-home pay. In fact, child care costs in Canada are among the highest in the world. [1]

The current situation is unacceptable and PSAC is asking members and the broader public to add their voice to our call for Justin Trudeau to take action.

We have a better vision for a universal and affordable system. One where parents across Canada can easily find child care centres to drop off their children, that provide educational and culturally-relevant programs; where daycare workers earn decent wages and are better supported; where women are able to return to work earlier if they choose to; and where families are able to better save for their children’s post-secondary education. Learn more about our vision.
