The government finally confirmed they are reversing the funding cuts. It has been a long and draining struggle but we forced them to listen to the needs of our families. We should celebrate this win while staying alert to ensure these promises hold up in the future.

In their election platform, the Liberal Government promised to help make New Brunswick a better place to raise a family by making daycares more affordable and accessible. Yet their recent announcement to cut 100% of the Quality Improvement Funding Support for owner/operators of New Brunswick Daycares completely contradicts that promise.
This is a direct hit on hardworking New Brunswick families - daycare rates will increase and spaces will decrease. How does this make daycares more affordable and more accessible?
I call on the Liberal Government to revoke this decision and keep their promise to make New Brunswick a better place to raise a family.

The silence from the provincial office remains heavy despite the growing volume of concern I am hearing from frantic daycare operators. I am exhausted by the slow pace of this fight but I am not walking away from our families who deserve better than broken promises.

I lost the qifs, and my family was desperately effected by this. We lost $1100 per month. Who can afford that? Would the politicians that' made this decision willing to lose $1100 off his pay next month??
It's past time government realized that affordable, accessible daycare is a necessity...not a luxury. Cutting support in this manner directly is shortsighted and negatively impacts a large portion of NB society.
in hopes that the government takes back this decision...my son attends Angies lil peeps in woodstock, nb. Angie and her employers have done a world of wonders for my son and I don't know what he will do if the centre has to close!
I made the decision 3 years ago to stay home because of the cost of childcare... making it even less affordable means I cannot return to work when I was hoping too because I won't be able to afford it! This is ridiculous! make cuts where you need to make cuts. but don't make the families in your province suffer financially!
As a teacher in this field. This is ludicrous. The education system wants children to possess specific skills before they enter kindergarten and parents want qualified persons caring and teaching their children. How can this occur when cuts keep being made that were put in place to help?!!!
reverse these cuts!
Attorney general considers questions on bilingual daycares for New Brunswick Court of Appeal. Adam Huras. Legislature Bureau. The province's attorney general is considering asking questions on duality in child care when approaching the New Brunswick Court of Appeal on whether sending both anglophone and francophone children to school on the same bus is constitutional. Michel Doucet, a U de M law professor, has called for Education Minister Serge Rousselle to raise the issue of whether bilingual daycares should exist when he goes to court to seek a reference on buses. Rousselle says he is aware of Doucet's request. "I take note of the recommendation. " he said, declining to comment further. Rousselle said last week that he will ask the New Brunswick Court of Appeal to rule on whether bilingual school buses violate the province's dual French and English system as quaranteed in the Constitution. The government wants clarification of the province's obligation and responsibilities. " Rousselle said he hopes to have questions drafted and before the court by September. Doucet states that approved child daycare facilities in New Brunswick follow either an anglophone or francophone curriculum provided by the provincial government. But he said there are bilingual daycares in the province, Doucet questioning whether they should be permitted under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees the duality in education for linguistic groups in minority communities. Current provincial rules allow bilingual daycares. "But as soon as we start talking about educational institutions it does bring up the charter," Doucet said. " If we are going to be calling them educational institutions, and the government is going to force them to apply a curriculum, then it has to be either French or English,it can't be bilingual." Tory Official Languages critic Madeline Dube said on Thursday that the decision is the Liberal government's to make. "That is going to
