Rachel Notley's plan to expand $25-a-day child care all across Alberta is a big win for families, but it's also backed up by sound economics. The Conference Board of Canada estimates that every dollar invested in child care gets a $2 return.
Alberta's lack of affordable child care isn't just hard on families trying to make ends meet, it leads to lower productivity and fewer career opportunities, especially for women. Rachel's plan will unlock Alberta's economic potential by helping more women enter the workforce.

That's good for productivity and growth. Period. That's good economic policy.

Some thoughts in the @albertaNDP child care plan rolled out today. Some details still needed, but overall will be welcome relief to working parents and will build on recent economic growth in Alberta driven by women #abvotes #ableg https://t.co/TU3PAqdDCL

The proposed childcare subsidy takes a made-in-Alberta approach, giving families price relief while preserving the marketplace for providers. Affordable childcare grows the economy, boosts long-run family income, and secures women's place in the workforce. https://t.co/O7wRBaHWgI

The NDP’s child care plan, UCP education platform, show vast ideological gap between these parties. Never have major contenders for #abgov been so divided. Column https://t.co/UjfAObFaZf #ableg #abvote2019 #yyc #yeg #abpoli #cdnpoli

We’re thrilled @RachelNotley’s @albertaNDP have made affordable quality childcare a priority during their tenure, as well as part of their re-election platform. All kids deserve a strong start in life and affordable childcare is an #EndPoverty #GameChanger https://t.co/AJ6QZw5O3l
