Much of the government’s emphasis has been on the reduction of costs to families, rather than on expanding spaces
We are still waiting — and it is virtually impossible to find out where you are on the list. At this rate, his high school prom may come and go before a spot in Quebec’s gold standard, subsidized daycare opens up.
The system, according to one tax simulator run by the University of Sherbrooke, more than pays for itself as a result. But it is a social program and much of the government’s emphasis has been on the reduction of costs to families, rather than on expanding spaces. In fact, the massive reduction in fees from $50 or even $60 a day to $10 is going to create such an upsurge in demand that the new system is likely to be swamped. The federal government has budgeted to spend $8 billion a year to create 200,000 new spaces.
There are other problems, including the distribution of CPEs. While one in three kids in child care in Montreal’s affluent Westmount borough attends a high-quality CPE, the equivalent number in lower-income Montreal-Nord is one in seven.Article contentMathieu said a further concern is a decline in quality, as the provincial government tries to create more spaces. “The government is so focused on accessibility, we have seen diminished hiring criteria,” she said.
If parents are budgeting on paying around $200 a month on daycare by mid-decade, they should probably think again. But tax credits also have a downside — while they meet the needs of parents more quickly, they usher in an unregulated system that offers no control over future fees, which tend to go in only one direction quite quickly, as parents in the U.K. can testify.
