Childcare in Quebec and the rest of Canada vary significantly. The variation is very extreme, where as families in Quebec are spending approximately $152 per month on childcare, and families in other provinces are budgeting over $1000 monthly.

Canada without Quebec will bring about many complications and whether there is a rest of Canada (ROC) after Quebec a major challenge.
