What are the Federal Provincial Territorial Agreements?

August 2007 Update:
Since 2001/02, agreements between the federal and provincial/territorial governments (FPT agreements) have transferred new federal funds to provinces and territories specifically to advance early learning and child care services as well as other early childhood development programs for young children and their families.  These agreements and related transfers are summarized in the factsheets below.

Please note that the 2007/08 federal transfers have changed due to the  termination of the Agreement-in-Principle on Early Learning and Child Care (Bilaterals) and passage of Budget 2007.  Federal transfers to provinces and territories in 2007/08 for early childhood development, learning and care programs and services now total $1.1 billion - $500 million (2000 ECD Agreement); $350 million (2003 Multilateral Framework Agreement); $250 million for child care spaces (Budget 2007).  Details of these transfers, including provincial and territorial allocations, are available on the federal government’s web site at http://www.fin.gc.ca/FEDPROV/fsce.html.
