Horgan campaigned on the commitment but the pact signed with Green Leader Andrew Weaver was less specific, saying only that a New Democrat government would expand spaces, increase affordability and ensure childcare is accessible.

When asked which childcare platform B.C. parents would see if he is premier, the NDP91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s or the Greens, Horgan says it will be the New Democrats91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™ platform.

He says his minority government would create 22,000 new childcare spaces in the next three years, growing to 66,000 spaces in five years.

The NDP campaign platform promised to bring in $10-a-day childcare with an investment of $175 million in the 2017-18 fiscal year and growing to $400 million by 2019-20.

Horgan also expressed frustration with the length of time it is taking for Clark to recall the legislature and face a confidence vote, saying that people keep approaching him in the street in confusion over who is actually premier.
