Excerpt: "Advocate Sharon Gregson has spent 15 years pushing for universal affordable child care in B.C.
She says it's frustrating to see that the two largest provincial parties have yet to focus on child care on the campaign trail.
"There's a lot of talk about cost and living and affordability," said Gregson, the spokesperson for the $10-a-day Child Care Campaign.
"So far it's all about helping people pay for groceries or a tank of gas. They're completely missing the mark for families with young children, with child care being their second largest expense."
WATCH | Report says B.C. lagging behind on $10-a-day care:
Gregson and 50 child care operators have signed an open letter warning that child care is in crisis in B.C.
They wrote that "underfunding or paused funding has destabilized the entire sector.""
