The Saskatchewan NDP is calling on the province to sign on to the national child care strategy.
NDP Leader Ryan Meili says a child care plan is a jobs plan, and the more the province invests in increased spaces and jobs in the child care system, the more families can get back to work building Saskatchewan’s recovery. Meili also called for the immediate establishment of a working group of child care experts, providers and families to improve early learning and child care in the province, from the bottom up. He says the group would address needs like recruiting and retaining staff, adequate wages for workers and replacing the existing subsidy.
