94.4 Incentives for Workplace Childcare
Whereas, Statistics show that 42% of all children under the age of thirteen require childcare; and,
Whereas, While some of these children are cared for in informal arrangements, a substantial number need places in licensed childcare centres; and,
Whereas, Some parents prefer centres that are close to where they work, and to which they could give some input; and,
Whereas, The provision of adequate facilities is quite costly; therefore be it,
RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to establish incentives for employer-supported childcare centres whether on site or close to the workplace, operated with parental input, and/or through a childcare resource and referral service.
