>>> Quebec provincial police are searching for an escaped prisoner. The 32-year-old disappeared from a minimum security federal detention centre in laval last night. Yacine zouaoui was convicted of second-degree murder murder in british columbia in 2011. Police believe he fled on foot and could now be in ontario and possibly heading west. He is described as 6' tall with 190 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. He speaks english and has tattoos on his face and left hand. Police say anyone who spots him should not approach but call 911 immediately. >>> Cbc news has uncovered new details in a deadly wrong-way crash last month in ontario that killed a baby and three adults. Court records show the passenger in the u-haul van involved in that crash was charged in a liquor store robbery linked to the incident. Manpreet gill faces 12 charges from the day of that crash. He has not been charged in relation to the collision itself. On april 29, the cargo van was seen weaving through traffic going the wrong way on highway 401 in whitby, ontario. At one point it was being pursued by at least 20 police vehicles. The multi-vehicle collision that ensued killed a 3-month-old boy from ajax and his grandparents visiting from india. The driver of the cargo van also died. Gill was hospitalized with serious injuries. His condition right now is not known. >>> A 51-year-old man is dead after being shot by police in manitoba today. The rcmp were responding to reports of a suspicious man about 60 kilometres southeast of winnipeg. Officers say they found a vehicle stopped on the side of the highway and saw a man assaulting a woman while holding an edged weapon. The man was asked to step away from the vehicle and drop his weapon, but instead police say he moved toward the officers. The man was shot and pronounced dead at the scene. The woman sustained minor injuries from the assault. [ ] >> Andrew: you're looking live at truro, nova scotia.

[ ] >> Andrew: if you have a child on a wait list for daycare or maybe on several wait lists, new data collected by cbc news shows you are far from alone. Demand is sky high across the country for $10-a-day child care. Now providers are calling for more funding as their operating costs continue to rise and the need for spaces outstrips

supply. The cbc news's marina von stackleberg has the story. >> Reporter: this woman's daughters are on 15 child care wait lists. The family like many across canada is struggling to find a licensed provider. >> Some of them are saying we won't have a spot for two or three years. >> Reporter: it's been two years since the federal government signed its last deal with provinces to spend tens of billions of dollars to create more child care spots and eventually cut fees parents pay to $10 a day. Daycares have overwhelmingly taken part and that has caused growing pains. >> As child care has become more affordable, we hear from parents that want to access it that are having trouble finding spaces. >> Reporter: providers say they are struggling to operate the spots they already have. The funding hasn't kept up with inflation and the need to pay child care workers a livable wage. >> We do need to take into consideration those cost ss and demand will only increase. >> Reporter: as part of the deal, daycares can't raise their fees, an option they had in the past to offset costs. Some private child care centres in ontario who can access those public dollars have threatened to pull out of the program all together unless they get more money. >> The funding will have to rise across the whole sector, but it is not coincidental that this game of chicken is not being played by anybody other than the for-profit sector. >> Reporter: it is difficult to know how many child care spaces are needed. Each daycare has a wait list and many families are on multiple. The latest data from statistics canada show half of canadian families report struggling to find a spot. >> The funding is great. It's a great incentive to get us moms back out to work. Again, if I can't access it, what is the point? >> Reporter: to add to her anxiety in finding daycare, she's expecting her third child this fall. That baby doesn't have a name yet but is already on a wait list. Marina von stackleberg, cbc news, ottawa. >> Jacqueline: a toronto daycare says it is facing a financial crisis because of uncertain funding from the province and delays in implementing ottawa's $10-a-day child care program. It appears many not-for-profits are in similar situation. Some may be forced to close their doors. Today the opposition N.D.P. spoke with reporters about that daycare and the larger problem. >> Having failed to provide certainty and sustainable funding, the ford government has pushed centres like sunnyside garden to the brink. In a letter to premier ford and to minister lecce, the centre made it very clear, without immediate intervention, sunnyside faces two options. Either withdraw from the $10-a-day child care program and increase fees significantly for parents or stay the course and risk insolvency. >> Jacqueline: the opposition wants the province to share its funding model with providers right now so that the centres can plan their budgets for the upcoming year. It's also asking for emergency funding so that specific toronto daycares and others like it can stay open until the national program is fully implemented. [ ] >> Jacqueline: and if you want to snow more, cbc's mike crawley has a story up on the website about the threat of closure to the sunnyside garden daycare. It delves into the funding issues that threaten many not-for-profits in ontario. You can check it out at cbcnews.ca or get the cbc news app. [ ] >> Andrew: and we're going to take you to truro, nova scotia, where prime minister justin trudeau is speaking. Let's listen. >> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: more aid in. The I.C.J.'s latest proposed measures go exactly in that direction and the I.C.J.'s proposals are binding and we expect everyone to follow them as a matter of international law. [Speaking French] [Voice of Interpreter] for weeks now, canada has been calling for a ceasefire to put an end to violence in the middle east. We need hamas to lay down its arms. We need to see the hostages released, but at the same time there must be an end to the military operation in rafah and no further military operation in are you aware. We need to get more aid in to the territory and the people of gaza. We're seeing huge humanitarian challenges there, the possibility of famine. So we have a duty to provide more aid to help palestinians in gaza. The recommendation and the

request being made by the international court of justice are fully aligned with what canada and many other countries have been asking for weeks now. As before, we're saying that everyone must follow international law and that the request being made by the I.C.J. is under humanitarian international law. [end of translation]. >> Question: israel says there is no other way of getting rid of hamas other than this incursion. What is your response to that? >> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: canada's position has always been that the solution to the extraordinarily difficult challenges in the middle east are a two-state solution, a peaceful, secure, democratic israel alongside a peaceful, secure, democratic palestinian state. That is what canada has been working on for decades. That continues to be our path forward along with many other countries. Unfortunately, the netanyahu government is creating barriers and blockages to ever being able to create or even imagine that two-state solution. That is where we fundamentally disagree with the netanyahu government, even as we continue to support the rights of the state of israel and also the aspirations of the palestinian people. We need an end to the violence and humanitarian aid for those impacted in the region and we need a path forward towards a true two-state solution. [Speaking French] [Voice of Interpreter] canada has always been very clear. The only solution in the middle east is a two-state solution. There needs to be an israeli state that is peaceful, secure and democratic. Living alongside a palestinian state that is peaceful, secure and democratic. That is the only possible solution over the short and long term. Unfortunately, the current government in israel, the netanyahu government, is not only dismissing the possibility of a two-state solution, it is actively trying to prevent that from happening. That's not what we need in israel. That's not what we need in the region. That's why canada will continue to call for a ceasefire and call for more humanitarian aid to get into gaza and we'll be working with our partners and allies around the world to move forward with a two-state solution and a secure and safe israeli state. >> Question: radio-canada. It was a difficult week for lobster fishers on the acadian peninsula and they're asking for a ban on the fishing in certain areas. Do you still have confidence in mr. Boutillier? >> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: well, I think your information is a bit out of date because the situation was resolved by the minister of fisheries and oceans who pledged directly to fishers and, in fact, everyone understands that it's very important to protect the whales, but we also do not want to punish or penalize fishers who rely on that fishing activity to earn a living and fulfil the needs of their families and communities. And that's why there were conversations up until the last minute to arrive at a solution. We will always be there to defend science and protection of resources, but the fishers do a very important kind of work. >> Question: I want to come back to your travel to the united states. You were looking for allies on the american side, and yet one quarter of U.S. senators, including many democrats, are denouncing the fact that canada has not met its 2% target of defence spending. How did you respond to that? >> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: well, first of all, I think it's important to remember that the previous conservative government under stephen harper and mr. Poilievre reduced defence spending to less than 1% of our G.D.P. on the contrary, when we came in, in 2015, we doubled our investments in canadian defence and we are now arriving at 1.6%
