Excerpts from the report:
In order to achieve the long-term goals for child care, the AFB will increase annual funding for ELCC to $5 billion by 2010, by which time all children aged three to five should have access to a quality child care space in their community. Starting in 2007&em;08, building this system requires the following dedicated federal transfers to the provinces and territories for child care services:
1. to maintain the Bilateral commitments to First Nations, provinces and territories for ELCC services34 &emdash; $1.2 billion;
2. to re-direct the funds from the Child Care Spaces Initiative &emdash; $250 million;
3. to confirm the funds already committed under the 2003 Multilateral Framework Agreement on ELCC &emdash; $350 million; and
4. to provide an additional transfer &emdash; $200 million.
