Taxpayer Federation Suggests Scrapping Early Learning Program

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says scrapping full-day kindergarten would help Ontario balance its budget.

The Federation makes its pitch in a submission to a pre-budget legislative committee gathering comment.

It calls the early learning program for four and five year olds misguided and having no positive effect on children.

The Federation also wants the provincial government to eliminate the 10 per cent hydro rebate given to homeowners, and stopping funding programs for businesses who hire youth.
