I come from Quebec, where there is a universal $7 per day system. It is popular, major, important. The quality of the services is excellent. There are CPEs, where there may be several dozen children, and home-based care, where there is one teacher for six children. For the youngest children, it works very well.
It is difficult for women in non-traditional occupations because of the hours. In general, the schedule is 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. So there are constraints, and problems. It isn't easy. However, what it means for women and the labour market in Quebec is very important, in every respect.
