It has been an on going battle in Canada for Universal Child Care, and its advocates have been constantly under attack. Child care is particularly important women’s issues as it is women who are the majority of child care givers. In 2006 Stephen Harper was one of the first parties to create a stated opposition to regulate healthcare. Code Blue for Child Care campaign was created to ensure the protection of the progress that had been made in concerns to universal child care (Crow, 129-130).

I believe that even though the current government has choose to eliminate the possibility of universal child care does not mean that advocacy groups should give up and wait for an election. I believe it is necessary for groups to go back to the teachings of previous feminist movements. There is always the outlet of protests, petitions and public education to ensure the public is informed on the topic
