Quebec nurse signed up for daycare when she was 4 weeks pregnant. She's still waitlisted 2 years later

Mélodie Dessureault, a nurse clinician in Gaspé, Que., was forced to take unpaid leave after her maternity leave ran out in June 2022 because she was not able to find a spot for her son in a daycare. Like 35,000 other Quebec parents, she is on a waiting list.
