flag Provinces fall short of 250,000 new child-care spaces by 2026 deadline despite $10-a-day goal.

flag Child-care advocates are urging federal and provincial governments to increase funding and strengthen Canada’s $10-a-day child-care system, as ministers meet in Ottawa. flag While most provinces have achieved the $10 daily fee target, progress toward creating 250,000 new spaces by March 2026 remains behind schedule, with only about 154,000 built since 2021. flag Growing waitlists and a shortage of qualified workers—due to low wages—are major obstacles. flag Advocates stress that sustained investment and fair pay are essential to expand access, improve quality, and support economic growth, especially as global trade disruptions persist.
