The national $10-a-day child care program favours some care providers over others, effectively discriminating against some families and their choices, says the think tank Cardus.

Cardus published a policy brief Jan. 18 calling on Alberta to renegotiate its agreement on the program with the federal government to include all types of child care. All the other provinces and territories have signed similar agreements.
