NDP proposes $15/day child care on Regina campaign stop
Thomas Mulcair traded question period for story time as he stopped in the Queen City Friday morning to read to children at the Child Care Centre Co-op Ltd.
Along with reading a Saskatchewan Roughrider book to the children and getting a tour of the long-standing daycare, the federal NDP leader announced his party’s proposal regarding child care ahead of this fall’s election.
“To create one million child care spaces that are quality, afforadble child care spaces,” Mulcair told reporters following story time. “And that means $15 a day.”
After consulting with parents, educators and child-care providers, Mulcair said his party considers $15 a day to be affordable while still ensuring quality care.
