That’s why we’re more convinced than ever that Ontario needs a publicly funded, universal child care system. The highly successful experience of Quebec, where the cost is $8 a day for families making less than $51,000, proves that it’s not just doable, but is good for the economy.

COVID-19 has also underscored the continuing economic inequality between women and men. Many women had to leave their jobs to care for children as child care facilities and schools closed. For a strong recovery, Canada needs all hands on deck, which means accessible, affordable child care.

Child care centres have struggled under COVID-19. Many are having difficulty getting staff back into a notoriously low-wage workplace amidst a life-threating pandemic, meaning a lack of child care spaces has only become worse.
