Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra is sounding the alarm over potential increases in child-care fees if the next federal government fails to boost funding for the $10-a-day program. Currently, fees are capped at $22, but the province faces a $10 billion shortfall over the next five years under the existing agreement with the federal government, which expires on March 31, 2026. With neither the federal Liberals nor Conservatives committing to increased funding, parents may bear the burden of rising costs after the current deal ends.
Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra warns that without increased federal funding, $10-a-day child-care program fees will rise, impacting parents post-March 2026.
Currently capped at $22 a day, Ontario anticipates a $10 billion funding shortfall over five years without federal support, raising concerns for parents.
