With child-care program Trudeau finds a model for influencing provincial policy

The success of Trudeau's child-care program has given the federal government a means to mould provincial policy from Ottawa and he said it's one he could use again.
Health-care delivery is squarely in the purview of provincial and territorial governments, and federal attempts to influence spending and policy have been met with resistance.
But the success of Trudeau's child-care program has given the federal government a means to mould provincial policy from Ottawa and he said it's one he could use again.
"We just have had an outstanding example of the federal government stepping up in an area that, quite frankly, has been traditionally a provincial area of jurisdiction and making a huge change for Canadians," Trudeau said in a year-end roundtable interview with The Canadian Press.
Trudeau's Liberals have so far inked 11 deals with provinces and territories to offer $10-a-day daycare to Canadian families.
