Saskatchewan families can breathe a sigh of relief as the province's affordable child-care program is officially set to continue. Premier Scott Moe has announced that a renewed agreement with the federal government will be signed this Friday, securing $10-a-day daycare for another five years.
Deal Secured Before Expiry
During question period on Wednesday afternoon, Premier Moe provided the confirmation many had been waiting for. We'll be renewing that five-year agreement, and we'll be signing that Friday with the federal government, Moe stated. This timely renewal comes well before the original agreement was set to lapse on March 31, 2026.
What the Renewal Means for Families
The extension of the federally-subsidized program ensures long-term stability and affordability for parents across the province. This initiative directly addresses the high cost of child care, a significant financial pressure for many Canadian households. The continuation of the program for a further five-year term provides certainty for family budgets and supports parental participation in the workforce.
The original child-care deal was a landmark commitment, and its renewal underscores a shared priority between the provincial and federal governments to maintain accessible, affordable early learning and child care for Saskatchewan residents.
