Well, there are figures showing that child care is an absolute pre-condition to access, and that is one of the points on which the OECD has roundly criticized Canada. Canada provides less child care than any of the 30 OECD industrialized countries, and it also has the worst record in terms of trying to keep the rates affordable. It has the highest cost of child care as well. Training programs almost never have supplementary child care built into them as a matter of right, and even in some areas where you would expect it to be openly available to everyone, it seems to be very selectively allocated.
