Pierre Poilievre will take away $10-a-day childcare

Sign on to protect childcare this election.

In Saskatchewan, families are finally starting to feel relief from sky-high childcare fees. Thanks to the federal-provincial $10-a-day agreement, average fees in licensed centres have dropped by more than 70% since 2021.

That’s life-changing for working parents – especially women – who are getting jobs to support their families and contribute to Saskatchewan’s economy. Up to $2.80 is generated in local economies for every $1 invested in public childcare.

$10-a-day childcare is also good for workers. The agreements can lead to more training, higher pay, and better care for kids.

All that is now at risk.

Pierre Poilievre voted against the national childcare plan. 

He’s refused to commit to keeping it, instead, calling it a “slush fund”. That would mean massive increases in costs for working families, and a rollback of one of the most meaningful affordability measures in a generation.

Saskatchewan families can’t afford to go backward.

We need more early childhood educators, not fewer. We need more spaces and even lower fees – not more Poilievre cuts. The solution isn’t to axe the childcare. The solution is to expand the program even more.

We need leaders who will protect and grow $10-a-day childcare — not cut it.

I’m signing on to protect affordable childcare in Saskatchewan.
