Link , Link , Link , Another important step in making $10 a day child care a reality for families across the country, and a key part of the Liberal government’s plan for a strong recovery that leaves no one behind.], Link , [Dear Doug, Here is some more math about daycare: If a family has 2 kids, $10/day childcare for 3 years could save them $102,000 Your 5.7 cents/litre would save a driver ~$150/year It would take a driver 680 YEARS to “break even” & save $102K by lowering gas 5.7 cents/litre], Link , [That was never the point of the Trudeau government’s $30-billion plan to subsidize the cost of child care and bring it down to an average of $10 a day by 2026. It’s not meant to pay for other provincial programs, but to create new spaces and lower fees for parents of young children. Ford needs to understand that the federal plan will benefit Ontarians at least as much, and in many cases more, than people in the rest of the country. Parents in the GTA, especially, face crippling costs for child care and they stand to be big losers if the province is left out. If for no other reason than his own political survival, Ford needs to make a deal. So stop the posturing, and work it out.], Link , [Trudeau would not say how close those negotiations were or what Ottawa would do to recognize Ontario's existing programs, including offering full-day kindergarten in public school starting at the age of four. "We've heard from advocates from families across the country, how important it is to get affordable child care spaces, cutting child care bills in half by next year across the country is something that everyone wants to see," he said. "And we are very confident that our hard work is going to get there here in Ontario and right across the country." The Liberals have promised to reduce fees for child care by 50 per cent on average in the next year and introduce child care for an average of $10 a day within five years at a cost of $30 billion. ]
