Some Saskatchewan daycare operators say that they won't be able to stay in business if the provincial government doesn't address a variety of issues, including making a deal to extend the federally subsidized $10-a-day child-care program.

...

The Government of Saskatchewan sent CBC a statement Tuesday afternoon saying it is looking forward to negotiating and signing a new child care agreement with the federal government. 

"We continue to meet and listen to the challenges and concerns from operators, early childhood educators and families from across the province,"  the statement said. 

"An extension of this agreement should include discussions around the feedback received since signing the agreement as well as the long-term sustainability of this program so that we can continue to add spaces and provide benefit Saskatchewan families and operators for years to come."
