The previous government introduced the fund when Ontario's minimum wage went up.
Ontario Education Minister Lisa Thompson speaks with a journalist following Question Period at the Ontario Legislature in Toronto on Aug. 1, 2018.
The move has already led to at least one child care centre in Peel Region, west of Toronto, telling parents that their fees will increase — up to an extra $72 a month for full-time infant care."It's supposed to help control child-care fees for Ontario families, so if it's being cut by $50 million, that's going to have a direct impact on costs for families," she said.
That funding ended as of March 31, the Progressive Conservative government told child-care operators in mid-April. Any money that flowed to them after that date"will be recovered," a memo said.
