REGINA—Saskatchewan is signing on to the federal government’s plan to implement $10-a-day child care for families.

“A child-care centre is as important to our economy, it is as much a piece of critical infrastructure, as a bridge, a road and a grain elevator,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said in Regina on Friday.
