NDP CRITIC FOR CHILDREN’S SERVICES, RAKHI PANCHOLI, MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ON THE EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE AMENDMENT ACT:

“This new legislation has done absolutely nothing to recognize and support that child care is about early learning. If we want a strong, diversified economy, we need to invest in the quality of early education for our children. Last week, I introduced a proposal, as part of our Alberta’s Future plan, that proves early learning and child care can be a pillar in our economic recovery. Albertans need affordable, accessible and quality child care. To get families of young children, particularly women, back to work - this is key. The UCP must do more to support child care and early learning. Our families depend on it. Our economy depends on it.”
