The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that asylum seekers in Quebec with young children are eligible for the province’s subsidized daycare programs. The ruling was released Friday morning with eight of the nine Supreme Court judges in favour of the decision. The case dates back to October 2018 when the case’s respondent, Bijou Cibuabua Kanyinda, entered Quebec via the Roxham Road crossing from the United States. “However, she was denied access to subsidized childcare because such childcare is reserved for those whose refugee status is formally recognized by the federal authorities, which excludes those waiting for a decision,” the court said. For those who are not eligible, another question proposes charging a fee to non-residents who use social support programs.
