Court Orders Quebec to Open Daycares for Asylum Seekers
The decision followed a series of legal cases filed by human rights organizations and citizens, who argued that keeping these daycares closed to asylum seekers constituted discrimination and hindered their integration into Canadian society.
The court emphasized that children’s right to early education and care should not be denied to any child based on their legal status, urging the government to implement the ruling promptly.
This judicial decision marks an important shift in Quebec’s social policies, affecting hundreds of asylum-seeking families and ensuring they have access to essential support and services for their children.
