enhance knowledge exchange across a diverse range of disciplines related to ELCC and Indigenous ELCC
- improve and enhance domestic data collection for national and international reporting purposes, to inform policy and decision-making
- build on knowledge of international best practices in order to support the department in policy development in areas of quality, accessibility, affordability, flexibility, and inclusivity of ELCC in Canada, thereby contributing to the development of a Canada-wide child care system
- facilitate Canada’s participation in long-term projects with organizations such as the OECD or UNESCO that brings together multiple countries to exchange information, produce research and data analysis, and collaborate on best practices in key emerging areas of ELCC
- collaborate with provinces and territories through participation in international ELCC projects, through data sharing, exchange of best practices and other collaborations, which can contribute to future work on a Canada-wide child care system.
