The study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says because provinces and territories are taking different approaches to try to meet the government’s initial fee reduction targets, some might miss them.
The government’s national plan is intended to cut average fees in half for regulated early learning and child-care spaces by the end of the year, and bring $10-a-day child care to every province and territory by 2026. Different types of child care exist for different child age groups, including infant, toddler and preschool-aged care, the latter being the most common.
The four cities that will miss their targets by more than $100 a month are Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Charlottetown, the centre found. Macdonald said he hopes the provinces move to the set fee system, the most predictable and transparent way to get to the 50 per cent reduction in child-care fees. Five provinces have adopted this method, including Quebec and most recently New Brunswick.
The study says this approach will result in parents paying widely varying fees, though still less than what they were paying before.Article content
