Children, Childcare, & Youth in Care

Childcare

Promesses de Anne Kang

Expand on our $10/day childcare, which has already helped 32,700 families Expand our childcare capital program and modular strategy Continue on our work of adding 2,500 licensed child care spaces across the province into prototype universal child care sites

- Expand our childcare capital program and modular strategy, to ensure that childcare is incorporated into new housing complexes, workplaces, and schools

- Support more Early Childhood Educators by expanding on the $2/hr wage enhancement and more training

Enshrine the principles of affordable, accessible, inclusive child care in law; expand $10/day child care beyond the 32,700 families we've already brought it to; exceed target of 22,000 new child care spaces; more convenient and secure child care for working parents;

Ensure Early Childhood Educators (ECE) are a well-supported profession, by expanding our successful wage increase program

Promesse de BC NDP

Protect childcare in law; Bring $10-a-day childcare to more families; Create more childcare spaces through a new childcare capital programme, exceeding target of 22,000 new spaces; Work towards universal access to before- and after-school care on school grounds; Train more ECEs.

Protecting childcare in law: Much in the way that legislation was introduced to enshrine the concept of universal health care, we will protect the principles of affordable, accessible, and inclusive quality child care in legislation.

Bringing $10-a-day child care to more families: Our focus on affordability for families has already led to 32,700 families paying $10-a-day or less on child care for their kids. Partnering with the federal government, we will expand the number of $10-a-day child care spaces while enhancing our other affordability measures - delivering savings of thousands of dollars each month to help families get ahead.

More spaces through a new child care capital program: We will exceed our target of 22,000 new child care spaces by expanding our child care capital program and modular strategy for child care. When government builds a new school, housing complex or other projects we will work to ensure child care is included in their capital plans.

More convenient and secure child care at your local school: A John Horgan NDP government will work towards providing universal access to before- and after-school care on school grounds so parents know their children are safe at one place for the full work day.

More convenient child care options for working parents: Through partnerships with crown corporations, universities, local governments, First Nations, and public and private sector employers, we will work to make sure new office/business construction and upgrades will include space for child care centres, so that more parents can access needed child care at their places of work.

Training and keeping more early learning educators: We'll make sure Early Childhood Educators (ECE) are a well-supported profession, just like teachers and other professionals who work in BC's education system. We will continue to implement and enhance the Early Care and Learning Recruitment and Retention Strategy which includes expanding our successful ECE wage enhancement program.

Integrating child care into the broader learning environment: To make sure child care is brought formally into the learning timeline, we will move responsibility for child care to the Ministry of Education. It will oversee delivery of all childcare initiatives and funding, manage a capital investment program to build more new spaces, and ensure quality care through ongoing curriculum enhancements.

Commit BC to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050: CleanBC currently sets a target of reducing emissions by 40 percent by 2030. To complete the task, we will pass legislation requiring BC to reach net-zero by 2050 – meaning there are either no harmful carbon emissions or they are offset by natural carbon sinks, carbon capture or other technologies.

Invest in made-in-BC carbon capture technology: British Columbia entrepreneurs have already started the research and development work to prevent carbon emissions from polluting the atmosphere. We will support that work with strategic investments to further our net-zero emissions goal.

Require greener buildings: We are already requiring new buildings and retrofits to be more energy efficient and cleaner – every new building constructed in BC must be net-zero ready by 2032. We will take the next step by empowering local governments to set their own carbon pollution performance standards for new buildings. And we will require realtors to provide energy efficiency information on listed homes to incent energy-saving upgrades and let purchasers know what energy bills they will face.

Accelerate energy efficiency retrofits beginning now: We will spur more energy-efficiency upgrades with programs and incentives for both residential and commercial buildings – including PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing that allows homeowners to take out loans for efficiency upgrades and pay them back over time through annual property taxes.

Expand CleanBC and our zero-emissions vehicle program to industrial vehicles: With heavy vehicles being a large and growing source of harmful emissions, it’s essential we move now to green-up BC industrial transportation. We will expand CleanBC’s SUVI program to get more trucks, buses, ports, airports, and marine vessels off fossil fuels.

Move towards a net-zero emission bus fleet: We will accelerate the move towards a provincial fleet powered by electrification, hydrogen fuel cell technologies, and other zero-emissions technologies.

Ramp up CleanBC’s industrial emissions strategy: We’ll provide additional funding for our CleanBC industrial emissions strategy so that more mines, pulp mills, oil and gas processing plants, and other industrial facilities can reduce harmful emissions and move to cleaner operations.

Employ best-in-the-world emission detection: To make sure our reduction goals are being met, we’ll employ world-leading regulations and technologies to detect and reduce harmful methane emissions.

Fast-track our industrial electrification strategy: By working with the federal government and BC Hydro, we can expand electrification infrastructure to make it easier for industries to go green.

Reviewing royalties from an environmental lens: We will conduct a comprehensive review of oil and natural gas royalty credits.

Capitalizing on the potential of BC’s aerospace industry: Already a key economic generator in our province, we will support this industry by providing more training opportunities for the next generation of aerospace workers, while partnering with the industry to open up new global markets.

Protecting marine life and habitats while enhancing coastal economies:We will develop a new provincial coastal strategy – in partnership with First Nations and federal and local governments – to better protect coastal habitat while growing coastal economies. A priority will be working with the federal government to address freighter traffic management and anchorage around southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

Protecting BC’s salmon populations: We’ll work with the federal government to develop new strategies that protect and revitalize BC’s salmon populations by building on the successful Broughton process and supporting innovation in fish hatcheries; step up protection of fish habitat through our biodiversity strategy and ensure BC processing of BC-caught fish.

Creating jobs for workers, opportunities for farmers, and sustainability for BC agriculture: A new Regenerative Agricultural Network will bring together natural systems of production with agri-technologies that enhance production – such as robotics, precision farming, and mesh networks. At a time when the climate crisis is threatening the viability of farming lands, this kind of innovation can bring greater food security, agricultural sustainability, and job creation

Strengthening the Grow, Feed and Buy BC programs to encourage greater food security and local business growth: These popular programs – cut by the Liberals then brought back by John Horgan and the NDP – are key to supporting local farmers, orchardists, growers, wineries and breweries. We’ll expand these programs with new worker training, land acquisition supports, and new processing hubs.
