Funding Cuts: Ford and Child Care

funding cuts: After Ford paused the planned cuts -- to public health, child care and land ambulance funding -- in May, it was unclear whether they would go ahead next year, according to CTV. His office said those changes will now take effect Jan. 1. The Progressive Conservative government had tried to force retroactive funding cuts on communities earlier this year but had to cancel them after municipal leaders complained their annual budgets had already passed. Ford said Monday that he had heard municipalities' concerns. But my friends, we're listening to you. We recognize our government moved quickly when we came into office to address our inherited challenges, Ford told a gathering of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.
