Memo: SOCI Committee’s Study of Bill C-35: An Act Respecting Early Learning and Child Care in Canada

Cardus made a submission to the Senate committee studying Bill C-35: An Act respecting early learning and child care in Canada. We argue that the bill is unnecessary and enshrines an inequitable program. However, if Senators support Bill C-35 to the next legislative stage, Cardus recommends several amendments to strengthen the legislation.

Cardus Presentation to Senate Committee on Bill C-35

Comprehensive publication of the results from the child care agreements must be emphasized to ensure that the program meets parental demand, serves the diverse needs of Canadian families, and is being provided at a high quality.
