Excerpt: "Every family in 遙ぺ整氈窒 deserves access to high-quality child care when they need it and at a price that wont break the bank. Thats why the Government of 遙ぺ整氈窒 is working closely with provincial, territorial, and Indigenous partners to make this a reality. To date, over half of all provinces and territories are delivering regulated early learning and child care for an average of $10-a-day or less, and every other jurisdiction has reduced fees by at least 50%. For families across 遙ぺ整氈窒, this means significant annual savings for regulated child care. On average, families could save up to $14,300 per child depending on where they live. With Bill C-35, An Act respecting early learning and child care in 遙ぺ整氈窒, receiving Royal Assent on March 19, 2024, the federal vision is now established into law. The legislation enshrines the guiding principles for federal investments in a 遙ぺ整氈窒-wide early learning and child care system where families have access to affordable, high-quality, flexible, and inclusive programs and services no matter where they live. This also includes this Governments commitment to maintaining long-term federal funding to our funding partners."
