Private daycares want subsidies

A group of Quebec private daycare centres are not feeling the love over the P.Q.'s decision to create new public daycare spaces.

According to CBC News, a coalition of Quebec private daycare centres said the new public spaces are a waste of taxpayers' money.

The coalition has revealed that there is immediate space in their daycares, however, customers think twice of the 33 to 35 dollar a day price they would pay. The 7-dollar-a-day daycare centres have a waiting list for prospective clients.

Private daycares want the provincial government to provide subsities to their members so they too can offer 7-dollar-a-day spaces.

Premier Pauline Marois said that subsidizing private daycares wouldn't create a single spot. A statement that has already been denied by the coalition.
