One of my top priorities is building a province where our children and grandchildren can thrive.
For far too long, childcare was treated like a luxury that only the wealthiest families could afford.
Access to high quality child care goes on to benefit families for the rest of their lives.
And last month, we expanded our $10-a-day program to 13 more childcare sites on Vancouver Island, including 132 childcare spaces in Gordon Head where parents will now pay no more than $200 per month, per child.
These latest deferrals mean that over 80 per cent of the old growth most at risk of irreversible biodiversity will not be threatened by short-term logging.
Our government is committed to implementing all 14 recommendations of the Old Growth Strategic Review – and are working towards a new Old Growth Strategy that will be complete by 2023 and prioritizes ecosystem health and community resiliency.
