Luft agrees, saying even $25 is not “necessarily a respectable wage” when compared to other industries in the education field. The rebates will be delivered to families beginning in May. As a new parent and immigrant, his main concern besides the pricing and increase in the number of daycare centres is for the province to ensure a healthy and safe environment for the kids. “I do not believe that the increases in compensation that the Ontario government is proposing are nearly sufficient to be able to attract the numbers of staff who will be required to fill these child-care centres,” said Ballantyne. “The Ontario government kept saying that it was holding out for a better deal, but there isn’t anything in what was announced to suggest that the Ontario agreement is different in any fundamental way from the other ones,” she told Global News. According to the Ministry of Health, under the new deal, Ontario families with children five years old and younger in licensed child-care centres will see fees reduced up to 25 per cent to a minimum of $12 a day, retroactive to April 1, 2022.

“Affordable daycare will really help me out after I’m done paying $45 for a carton of milk, $200 to fill up my car, and $5000 a month in rent on my basement apartment,” explained Keisha Sparks of Whitby. “As well, the delay ensured that parents would be so broken from desperately trying to find adequate child-care in a global pandemic, that any small crumb of help I provided would force them to see me as a saviour worthy of re-election. “There were times I wasn’t sure I could hold out for an entire year, but as you all know my greatest strength is pointless, petty obstruction,” Ford adeed, growing teary eyed.
