I honestly never expected a follow through to begin with. It was deeply flawed from the beginning and I don’t see it being a huge priority now.

Be honest I am in ontario and it at 22 bucks a day or 480 a month. Most parents get 200 to 400 from ccb and anyone cant afford it can get special grants.
No one complains it is not affordable and it very popular so much so there over a year wait for spots.
My point being…
I dont personally think with current fiscal issues it makes much sense to drive costs down further if working already quite well at 20 bucks.

>The report says just six provinces and territories — Nunavut, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador — have met or improved upon the government’s 2026 target for $10-a-day child care.
>Five provinces — Ontario, Nova Scotia, Alberta, B.C. and New Brunswick — do not yet have plans to reduce fees to $10 a day, the report says.
Considering that a decade ago childcare costs that low outside of Quebec were unheard of, I think this result is quite impressive.
I am a parent in Ontario with kids in daycare. Compared with the price I paid before this program and now, it has made a huge difference to our finances, even if it isn’t $10.

Tough to expand services when they’ve been trying to cut back the federal workforce since 2023 and Carney just announced new more aggressive reductions.

I think the headline is both correct but a bit off. While yes the federal plan to meet a 2026 goal would be missed, part of this still falls on the provinces that have not made plans. So in a way this is a bit more on them than the feds.
