The best examples of supply-side funding are the education system and the health care system. They both receive their funding from governments, directly from provincial/territorial governments and via dedicated transfers from the federal government to provincial/territorial governments. Neither system depends on, for example, parents to pay direct, additional costs for service. As for budget 2021 and ELCC, there will still be a parent fee, but it will be a fraction of what is generally being charged for most families and that portion of your revenue will be provided via operating funding. We know that collecting parent fees can be a real challenge for child care programs/providers. Bad debts and write-offs are very real in Canada’s ELCC sector. Moving to supply side funding will help to significantly reduce this vulnerability—and of course, will absolutely support the economic security and well-being of families.
