Memo: HUMA Committee’s Study of Bill C-35: An Act respecting early learning and child care in Canada
Cardus has made a submission to the House of Commons 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 members support Bill C-35 to the next legislative stage, Cardus recommends several amendments to strengthen the legislation.
