WINDSOR, ONT. Associate Minister of Finance Mona Fortier met with local leaders Wednesday to discuss, in part, the impact of the pandemic on women and their re-entry into the workforce. A key component of recovery includes getting out of what has been dubbed the “she-session.” “We ve lined up some investments to support women such as childcare but also making sure they can get back to work,” Fortier says. The reduction of childcare cost was a key highlight of Monday s budget, released by the Liberal government. Fortier says the Liberals plan to cut childcare fees by 58 per cent in the next year while the goal of dropping fees down to as low as $10 a day wouldn t come until 2026.
