Excerpts from the press release:
Peggy Nash, MP (Parkdale-High Park) and NDP leadership candidate, today put out her plan to Ensure Access to Early Childhood Education and Childcare.
"Too many families across Canada struggle to make ends meet while trying to ensure their children get the care they need," said Nash. "My plan puts ECEC back on the federal/provincial/territorial table as an urgent social policy issue."
...
Nash's plan is based on evidence which consistently confirms that Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) programs support women's equality, help lift families out of poverty, and strengthen communities.
...
"Under my leadership, the NDP - and the next government - will work to build a framework and funding commitments for publicly-managed, publicly-delivered, and non-profit ECEC services right across the country," said Nash.
