Carolyn Ferns, a public policy advocate for affordable child care, joins Kerry McCuaig, an early childhood policy expert, and Julia Smith, a Winnipeg parent sharing her struggles with wait lists, to discuss the $10-a-day child care initiative. They explore the successes and limitations of the program, such as its impact on affordability versus accessibility, and the barriers faced by families with irregular work schedules. The experts highlight the pressing need for public investment and policy reform to genuinely benefit all families.
