Future of Toronto’s child-care funding still uncertain even after latest provincial climbdown

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The provincial government is partially walking back its planned cut to child-care subsidies for Toronto in 2020, leaving unclear what will happen the following year.

The shift was communicated to the city on Friday and represents the latest in a series of climbdowns by the provincial government. In the face of protests and opposition, it has reversed course on autism funding, public-health funding and, in recent weeks, its pledge to take over Toronto’s current subway system.

Mayor John Tory commended the province for its partial retreat but said he would continue to seek more funding.
