The Conservative Party claimed that $10-a-day child care accounts for just 10 per cent of child care spots in the province, with many parents being unable to secure a spot.

“Nobody begrudges David Eby and his wife for their success. The Conservative Party of BC wants more British Columbians to succeed. What families will not accept is a Premier who promised them $10-a-day child care, failed to deliver it, and then took one of the scarce spots for himself while a single mom working two jobs sits on a waitlist,” said Dovgal. “David Eby looks after David Eby first. Parents struggling to afford child care deserve a Premier who fixes the problem instead of one who works the system for his own family.”

The BC NDP provided the following statement to Fraser Valley Today from Leader Dsvid Eby in response to this story:

“By securing a deal with the Prime Minister, BC and Ottawa will work together to reach a newly negotiated childcare funding agreement with a December 1st deadline. My family has benefited from a wonderful local childcare centre and I will keep fighting so that every family benefits from quality childcare across our province.

A couple of years ago, the childcare centre that one of our children was attending was designated as a $10/day site. When that occurred, we chose as a family to make a donation to that excellent facility. We felt that we did not need that discount and we wanted to make sure that the childcare centre could provide other supports for families in the community.

We will be making a similar donation to the childcare centre for our youngest child that attends the same facility.”
