Starting April 2, Manitoba families will pay a maximum of $10 per day in fees at regulated non-profit child-care centres.
Manitoba committed to reaching an average of $10 per day for child care fees by 2026 but hit the target three years early.
Once Manitoba's new fees start in April, nearly half of Canada's provinces and territories will have $10/day regulated child care, while fees have been cut by at least 50 per cent in all other jurisdictions aiming to get there by March 2026. The lower cost means nothing, however, if there aren't spaces available for parents to put their children. Trudeau said he will encourage Manitoba to create those, including spaces in rural and Indigenous communities."We recognize there's more work to be done — that's why we're moving in that direction," she said. "We will be opening up new child care centres as well.
The expression of interest deadline is March 31, after which the province will start the selection process.Earlier on Friday, Trudeau said the federal government is working to prevent future flooding in Manitoba communities like Peguis First Nation, where more than 900 evacuees remain out of their homes since last spring.
