A new report is urging the Trudeau Liberals to embrace "aggressive incrementalism" on their promised path toward a national child-care system, arguing the government should quickly build on what's already there rather than push wholesale change.
Provinces aren't likely to agree to national standards, the authors write, pointing to recent federal efforts on child care.
The think-tank's report says the federal government should bundle funding for child care into an annual transfer payment similar to one it already provides to help provinces cover the cost of health care.
The report's authors say the money should focus first on expanding the supply of licensed child-care spaces.
The authors add that any federal moves need to be aimed at quickly building up child-care services nationally because the status quo is not sustainable.
