Child care services have made a real difference in people’s lives. Some data on the Quebec model shows, among other things, that there is an incredible return on the investment: more and more women are entering the labour market and accepting positions with greater responsibilities. Each year, every $1 spent by the Quebec government generates $0.40 in economic benefits.
There has been a reduction in the level of poverty in Quebec as a result of the establishment of the family policy, which contains many more measures than just child care. Canada could learn much from this model.
