Canada and Manitoba are Making Child Care More Affordable for Low and Middle Income Families.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson virtually to announce Manitoba is expanding eligibility to its Child Care Subsidy Program effective this Sunday. He explained:          

             

“Last summer we signed an historic deal with Manitoba.  We laid out a plan to cut fees in half by the end of this year and for 10 dollar a day child care by March of 2023. Today we can announce that thousands of families will be saving money on child care earlier than planned.  Manitoba will now expand the Child Care Subsidy Program and up to 12 thousand additional children will receive support, particularly those in low and middle income families. With this expansion nearly half of regulated spaces in the province will now be subsidized.  Families that apply and qualify for this subsidy program should see their fees cut by as much as 50 percent and we’re still on track to cut average fees in half for Manitoba families by the end of this year.”
