Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Thursday that the federal government had reached an agreement with British Columbia on a childcare program that will only cost parents $10 a day for kids under the age of 6.

The deal aims to create 30,000 new spaces in B.C. in the next five years, with fees for regulated spaces cut in half by the end of 2022.

B.C. marks the first province to sign on to the Liberal offer laid out in the April budget, which pledged $27.2 billion over five years starting this fiscal year, in new spending that the governing party aims to send to provinces to subsidize daycares.

Trudeau began his day behind closed doors in Metro Vancouver discussing B.C.’s wildfires and a recent punishing heatwave with members of his cabinet’s Incident Response Group.

He is to spend much of the rest of the day in Coquitlam, where he will sit down with B.C. Premier John Horgan, who joined him for the childcare announcement.
