Description

The Harper government is preparing the 2008 federal budget and the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is joining with the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada (CCAAC) in encouraging people to remind the government that public investment in early learning and child care is a social priority for Canadian families and an economic priority for Canada.

Thoughts and ideas about why child care services are important for children and families and Canada's economy can be sent to the Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty, through an online consultation available through the availability link - Online consultation - above.
