Aislinn Clancy, Ontario Greens Deputy Leader and MPP for Kitchener Centre, has introduced a motion urging the Ford government to expand affordable childcare spaces. The motion emphasizes the importance of fair wages for childcare workers to attract more staff and sustain the $10-a-day program. Clancy highlights the overwhelming demand in Waterloo Region, where a 115 percent increase has led to over 9,000 children on waitlists, calling the area a ‘childcare desert.’ She argues that addressing these issues is crucial for supporting families across Ontario.
