Justin Trudeau to Host Child Care Announcement with NB Premier Blaine Higgs | The Canadian News

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to make an announcement on child care this morning with New Brunswick Prime Minister Blaine Higgs.

Federal Liberals announced this spring that they would spend $ 30 billion over five years to reduce child care rates to an average of $ 10 a day across the country, as a cornerstone of an initiative to help families and make the economy to move.

The plan requires provinces and territories to sign, and New Brunswick, Ontario, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories are the only strongholds.

Child care rates will be cut in half starting next year and reduced to an average of $ 10 per day by 2026 in the Prairie Province.
