As I mentioned in my presentation, the agreements did effect change. Since the cut of the agreements, we have seen some cuts at the provincial level, with the possible loss of subsidized spaces in Ontario and cuts in direct grants to programs in B.C. In this most recent budget in New Brunswick, the provincial government is announcing that it's cutting transfer payments to child care programs as a direct result of a lack of that funding.
What we are calling for goes further than those agreements. We need to provide clear benchmarks and timelines to provinces, and if they do not meet them, they do not access the funding. We need to really use our spending power to make sure we're going in the direction we want, because if not, we won't get there.
