British Columbia NDP Leader David Eby said his family has access to a limited $10-a-day child-care spot, while the province has paused enrollment and critics call it hypocritical.
The Story
British Columbia NDP Leader David Eby said Monday that his family has access to a $10-a-day child-care spot, drawing criticism from advocates who say the government has not expanded the program. Speaking at a rally in Delta, Eby responded to a question about how people would feel knowing the premier benefits from a program that is available to only a small number of families. “My family has, yes,” Eby said. When asked why that access does not line up with the government’s position on expanding child care, Eby said, “I think it's absolutely crucial that every British Columbian get access to affordable child care, and we are committed to expanding child care.”
