    Description: In 2021, the federal government of Canada committed over $27.2 billion in funding through bilateral agreements with the provinces and territories towards building a Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care system.

This study fills information gaps related to the centre-based child care workforce providing care to children aged 0 to 5 years.

    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202401000002
