See later story. Canadian Press has sent out word that Ontario will sign the federal scheme for child-car support Monday although the details remain vague and some might call them cryptic. Read the bulletin below:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford will make an announcement Monday morning after the two sides reportedly reached a $10.2 billion deal to subsidize the cost of child care last night. Sources from both the federal and provincial governments told The Canadian Press Sunday that they had agreed on a deal, with Ontario becoming the final jurisdiction in the country to sign on to the $30 billion accord. Ontario had been holding out for more money, but reportedly did not receive any additional funds as part of the deal. Instead, the two sides agreed on additional flexibility in how the money is spent and a review mechanism that initiates in three years where Ontario can ask the federal government for more money. The announcement will take place somewhere in the Greater Toronto Area at 11 a.m.
