New Democrats would expand $25-a-day daycare if re-elected: Notley

CALGARY — Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley says her party would expand $25-a-day daycare if her party were to win the April 16 provincial election.

Speaking in Calgary, Notley said the plan would include 13,000 new daycare spaces across the province.

It would be an expansion of a pilot program begun two years ago that capped daycare costs at 7,300 spaces in 122 locations at $25 daily.

Notley said more daycare would increase employment and add nearly $6 billion a year to Alberta’s GDP.
