11| The IFP -H alton H ills | T hursday,M arch 29,2018 theifp.ca "Why now?" Wellington Halton Hills MPP Ted Ar- nott is questioning Premier Kathleen Wynne's latest announcement, which he is calling yet another Liberal campaign com- mercial. On March 27, the Ontario Liberals an- nounced the province will be offering free child care for children aged two-and-a-half until the age they are able to start kinder- garten - a move they approximate will save families $17,000 per child. But Arnott says this decision is more about the coming election than about child care. Wynne, along with Minister of Finance Charles Sousa and Minister of Education Indira Naidoo-Harris, says the new initia- tive is part of the government's investment of $2.2 billion over three years for child care. More than $930 million from 2020 to 2021 will go toward providing families with free preschool child care. "In spite of what Premier Wynne said to- day, no government program is 'free,'" Ar- nott told the Independent. "We all pay for government programs through our taxes and the heavy tax burden under this Liber- al government is making life harder and harder for many families." Arnott says the Liberals have been in power for 15 years and that it's worth ques- tioning why these changes are being made just weeks away from the provincial elec- tion on June 7. "However," Arnott added, "their prob- lem is that almost nobody believes them anymore."
