This article explores the extent to which party politics influences the nature and provision of child care policies in Canada, specifically in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta. The article argues that whereas the primary impetus for the expansion and reduction of child care programs over the last 15 years in these two provinces has been economic, party philosophy has been an important intervening variable. In particular, it matters whether the party has as its goal the retrenchment of the welfare state or simply the reduction of spending. Although right - wing governments may attempt retrenchment as well as spending reductions, left - wing governments are unlikely to attempt wide - scale retrenchment. Thus, partisan politics do matter, but within fiscal constraints.
