Ontario is the only one left without a child care deal.
Nunavut and the Federal Government have signed a deal for the $10 a day child care. They were the second last place in Canada to sign on the dotted line, other than Ontario.
The last time Premier Doug Ford spoke about the deal was back in November 2021 where he was quoted as saying
We’ll strike a deal, but I’m not making a bad deal just for the sake of making a deal… I want the same deal that he has (in reference to Quebec Premiere François Legault). He has minimum, minimum strings attached and they are getting a lot more per capita… I am not going to get the short end of the stick on this
Quebec’s child care is already heavily provincially subsidized.
The average cost of child care in Ontario is just under $13,000, or about $53 a day.
