Excerpt: "Bill C-35, An Act respecting early learning and child care in Canada, was introduced in the House of Commons on December 8, 2022. The Act: reinforces the Government’s long-term commitment to early learning and child care by articulating the federal goal, vision, and principles for a Canada-wide system; enshrines the Government of Canada’s commitment to sustained and ongoing funding for partners; enhances accountability through reporting to Parliament on progress towards an early learning and child care system; and establishes in law the National Advisory Council on Early Learning and Child Care, which provides advice to the Government of Canada and serves as a forum for engagement on issues and challenges facing the early learning and child care sector."

Excerpt: "Every family in Canada deserves access to high-quality child care when they need it and at a price that won’t break the bank. That’s why the Government of Canada 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 Canada, 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 Canada, 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 Canada-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 Government’s commitment to maintaining long-term federal funding to our funding partners."

Excerpt: "Our greatest ambition has always been the same: to give every child the tools they need to reach their full potential. This is our vision for the Québec of tomorrow. I am announcing that we are continuing our efforts with additional investments of $819 million with a view to: supporting student success by giving them access to the tools they need, for example with the catch-up plan; promoting the attraction and retention of school staff; supporting partner organizations in education; and continuing maintenance of the school building inventory."

Excerpt: "The Manitoba government has introduced legislation that would lower the age a child is required to attend school and remove barriers to students enrolling in schools in the area where they live, Education and Early Childhood Learning Minister Nello Altomare announced today. “We want to make sure every kid is set up for success and that means making sure they have access to education, particularly in the critical early years,” said Altomare. “We know when kids attend school regularly, they are more likely to succeed, go to college or university, and get a good job that will help them build a good life. That is why we want to make sure they are able to go to school wherever they are living.”"
