There is nothing proposed in the Canada-wide agreements or legislation that creates a two-tier system or that would provide wealthy Canadians with a level of child care that is different from the child care provided to any other Canadian.
What this legislation does, in the context of the Canada-wide system, is ensure that families have choice. Families that choose to send children to licensed child care can feel confident it is of high quality and will be inclusive of their needs. It recognizes that these investments are there within the context of other investments, such as the child care benefit, to support families in Canada. Families that choose to stay home with their children have access to those supports as well.
What the Canada-wide system does is level the playing field across the country and move us, in a transformational way, toward something more consistent from province to province.
