Excerpt: "This budget represents a vision of a territory in which all communities have access to infrastructure and services that support healthy living now and into the future. It represents a vision of a territory with a vast and rich landscape that is managed responsibly for future generations. It signifies our government’s enduring commitment to improving the lives of Yukoners. While they are technical by nature, budgets are ultimately successful when they improve the lives of those they are intended to serve."

Excerpt: "The Parental Sharing Benefit gives new parents, including adoptive and same-sex parents, more time to share the responsibility of raising their children. Eligible parents who agree to share benefits are now able to access an additional five weeks of Employment Insurance standard parental benefits, or an additional eight weeks if they choose the extended parental benefit option. This means more flexibility for families."
Excerpt: "Effective April 1, the Government of Alberta will no longer administer a child care accreditation system parallel to licensing. No other province in the country duplicates licensing and accreditation.
Eliminating accreditation lets child care providers spend more time with kids and families. Child care centre operators and workers have been clear that the accreditation process added unnecessary red tape, causing workers to spend hundreds of hours on paperwork rather than focusing on care for children."
