Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner has condemned the Ford government’s significant underfunding of essential social services, citing a report from the FAO that reveals a $3.7 billion shortfall for programs benefitting children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. The Ontario Autism Program is particularly affected, with only 10,000 children expected to receive funding despite a staggering waitlist of over 60,000. Schreiner emphasizes the urgent need for the government to reallocate funds from wasteful expenditures to address the pressing needs of vulnerable Ontarians.
