ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Ms. Horwath moved,

Mme Horwath propose,

Whereas the government of Canada has failed to provide predictable funding to develop and deliver affordable, accessible, and high quality early childhood education and childcare programs in Ontario;

Whereas families pay monthly fees of $1152 on average for one childcare spot in Ontario compared to $152 per month in the province of Quebec;

Whereas investing in high quality childcare will reduce the stress on families; benefit children's development and future academic success; allow more parents to reenter the work force, retrain or go to school; reduce dependence on social assistance; reduce poverty; and will bring $1.75 in return for every dollar invested by our government;

Whereas families, businesses and the economy at large will benefit from investing in our early childhood education and childcare programs;

Therefore, in the opinion of this House, this province should partner with the Federal Government to ensure that every parent in Ontario has access to childcare at a cost of no more than $15 a day per child.

Debate arose and after some time,
