The Ontario government has signed a $13.2 billion deal with the federal government to cut child care fees by half before the year’s end and give parents with kids aged five and under a rebate starting in May.
Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the agreement in a joint press conference on March 28, making Ontario the last province to get on board with the federal government’s multi-year plan to bring child care fees down to $10 a day across the country.
