Conservatives’ plan would modernize child-care and family policy

August 19, 2021

Brian Dijkema, vice president of external affairs at Cardus, shares his thoughts on the Conservatives' Canada-wide child-care plan. A glance at the available details of the CPC plan suggest that it is expansive, equitable, comprehensive, remarkably progressive, and takes significant steps to modernize child-care and family policy in Canada. How? While there are some who believe that “tax credits do nothing to create desperately needed spaces” or that the plan will not have an impact on women’s participation in the labour market, evidence suggests otherwise.
