It is definitely not enough. As I said, this is parents' number one need.
I have some figures. According to Statistics Canada data, there are about 6,930 children aged zero to four who are rights holders. In Manitoba, right now, there are 1,055 children enrolled in a program for ages zero to five. There is double that number on waiting lists. The last time we looked, there were about 1,800 Manitoban children waiting to get access to a francophone child care service. At present, there could be as many as 3,391. I heard reports from two parents this week who were trying to find a child care service in French in Manitoba. There is a glaring need and there has been for years.
On the other hand, we are very grateful to the federal government for its investment in early childhood education in Manitoba. All of the centres offer spaces at $10 a day, which is excellent, but this has also increased the need for child care services. There is a huge amount of work to be done, particularly when it comes to creating more child care spaces.
