92.19PU Policy Update: Child Care

Whereas, A Position Paper on Child Care was accepted at the Annual General Meeting of the National Council of Women of Canada in 1987; therefore, be it,

RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to establish a national comprehensive child care policy designed to facilitate the development of child care services and resources which would:

  1. be of high quality; and,
  2. be available and financially accessible to all Canadian children who need them; and,
  3. offer a range of services to allow for parental choice and the needs of individual families; and,
  4. be sensitive to the particular cultural requirements of aboriginal and immigrant families; and,
  5. meet the needs of children in their own homes as well as children in child care facilities.
