B.C. election 2017: Where the three parties stand on childcare

Here's a link to a recent story I wrote for The Vancouver Sun about where the Liberals, NDP and Green party stand on childcare.
Both the NDP and the Greens have big plans when it comes to childcare, with the NDP promising to implement $10-a-day childcare and the Greens promising to bring in free preschool for toddlers. The Liberals say those options are too expensive, but they promise to build more spaces.
Childcare is expensive in Metro Vancouver and the wait lists are long. Experts say cheaper and more accessible childcare gets more women into the workforce, therefore boosting the economy.
Voters will have their say May 9.
