The Daycare State: Federal Subsidies for ECE
While services such as health insurance and pensions have been recognized by the Canadian government as deserving of federal attention and financial assistance, others remain absent from the national agenda. The care and education of young children remains, for the most part, the sole responsibility of parents, who must reconcile the tension between working and raising a child. As part of the ongoing tradition of the welfare state, it is necessary that the federal government recognize this problem and implement a solution modeled on reforms that have benefited Canadians in the past.
