Tasha Kheiriddin on why parents need choice in childcare not a national program
About this episode
Canada is on its way to having some form of national childcare program.
In its recent fall economic update, the Trudeau government announced it was looking at more than $400 million dollars for the provinces to train qualified staff as preview of more money coming in next year’s budget.
But is a plan to create more child care spaces the right move?
Postmedia columnist Tasha Kheiriddin joins Dave to talk about what the feds are proposing, why it may not meet the needs of kids, and why the government should pursue offering parents more flexibility instead.
