Summary

CBC's Power & Politics panel discussed the current state of Canadian child care, the political tensions between federal and some provincial governments over CWELCC funding, the program's timeline and progress and how this might influence voters. Following the panel, the Executive Director of an Ontario non-profit child care centre spoke about barriers to expansion caused by insufficient provincial funding and stressed the need for federal and provincial governments to work together to find solutions.
