在2026年最后期限之前,各省没有达到250 000个新的儿童保育场所,尽管目标是每天10美元。 Provinces fall short of 250,000 new child-care spaces by 2026 deadline despite $10-a-day goal.

儿童保育倡导者正在敦促联邦和省政府增加资金并加强加拿大每天10美元的儿童保育制度, Child-care advocates are urging federal and provincial governments to increase funding and strengthen Canada’s $10-a-day child-care system, as ministers meet in Ottawa. 虽然大多数省份实现了每日收费10美元的目标,但到2026年3月创造250 000个新空间的进展仍然落后于计划,自2021年以来仅建成约154 000个新空间。 While most provinces have achieved the $10 daily fee target, progress toward creating 250,000 new spaces by March 2026 remains behind schedule, with only about 154,000 built since 2021. 由于工资低,等待名单不断增加,合格工人短缺,这些都是重大障碍。 Growing waitlists and a shortage of qualified workers—due to low wages—are major obstacles. 倡导者强调,持续投资和公平薪酬对于扩大准入、提高质量和支持经济增长至关重要,特别是鉴于全球贸易持续中断。 Advocates stress that sustained investment and fair pay are essential to expand access, improve quality, and support economic growth, especially as global trade disruptions persist.
