The Prime Minister said at a local fundraiser that Canada has come out of the pandemic “financially better” than other G-7 countries.
He also acknowledged, however, the struggle families continue to face with inflation and the rising cost of living.
Trudeau then pointed to the federal government’s agreement with B.C. to cut child-care costs in half.
Trudeau was in town to meet with Premier David Eby and announce that parents will get a discounted rate for every child they have in a licensed child-care facility.
This Government initiative is expected to save parents as much as $550 per month, per child.
Many B.C. families, however, feel this should have happened sooner.
