Excerpt: "CREATING AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE: Two years ago, this government put B.C. on the path to universal child care. Tens of thousands of families are already feeling the benefits. Fee reductions and the affordable child care benefit have put more money back in families' pockets. And parents are bringing their skills back into the workforce, benefiting local business and the economy. There is more work to do to help British Columbians find quality child care they can afford. Government continues to train more Early Childhood Educators, to make sure B.C. has the professional, caring and skilled child care workers it needs. Those Early Childhood Educators are now earning higher wages, with an additional $1-per-hour increase coming April 1 for those working in licensed care. As work on universal child care continues, this government will work to increase the number of spaces for school-aged children, and partner with school districts to create more before- and after-school care."

Excerpt: "A strategy document outlines the transformation agenda that affects every area within the department, and which will continue to influence its work in the years to come. Some priority areas include: improving early learning and child-care options for Manitoba families, by supporting the creation of new child-care spaces and more child-care options for families, while also reviewing the current funding model to ensure sustainability."

Excerpt: "That starts with a commitment to govern in a positive, open and collaborative way. Our platform, Forward: A Real Plan for the Middle Class, is the starting point for our Government. I expect us to work with Parliament to deliver on our commitments. Other issues and ideas will arise or will come from Canadians, Parliament, stakeholders and the public service. It is my expectation that you will engage constructively and thoughtfully and add priorities to the Government’s agenda when appropriate. Where legislation is required, you will need to work with the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and the Cabinet Committee on Operations to prioritize within the minority Parliament."
