Excerpt: "The provincial government signed a new five-year deal in November to keep the $10-a-day program going. Many provinces signed agreements months earlier, but Saskatchewan鈥檚 Education Minister said the province was holding out to get a better deal. The new deal includes a base funding increase to help with inflationary costs and an expansion to the age limit so kids who turn six can stay in the program until they start school. Werner said the delay may have contributed to a lack of new spaces opening in the last while, because providers wouldn鈥檛 want to go through all the work of planning and funding if the program was going away. 鈥淎ll of that gets put on hold 鈥 we don鈥檛 want to go into a bunch of debt and then not know if the funding is even going to be in place,鈥 she explained."
