Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has confirmed the province will be extending its child-care agreement with the federal government. The announcement, made on November 26, 2025, signals a continued partnership aimed at supporting families across the province.
Details of the Agreement Extension
While specific new terms of the extended agreement were not immediately detailed in the initial announcement, the core objective remains to improve the affordability and accessibility of early learning and child care for Saskatchewan residents. The original agreement was a key component of a national strategy to create a Canada-wide early learning and child care system.
Premier Scott Moe made the statement regarding the extension, reinforcing the provincial government's commitment to the initiative. The announcement was made from Regina, the provincial capital.
Context and Significance for Families
This decision to extend the agreement provides stability and certainty for families who rely on affordable child-care options. It ensures that federal funding and the framework for reducing child-care fees will continue in Saskatchewan.
The move is seen as a positive step in addressing the cost of living and supporting parents, particularly mothers, in returning to the workforce. The continuation of this partnership between the provincial and federal governments is expected to have long-term economic and social benefits for the province.
