Little Help for Children's Aid Societies

Premier Dalton McGuinty isn't holding out much hope of additional funding for Ontario's cash-strapped Children's Aid Societies.

McGuinty said the province doesn't have the cash to cover a 67-(m) million-dollar shortfall.

McGuinty says funding to the C-A-S's have increased over the past several years and both sides have to find a way to manage.

He had a similar message for Ontario hospitals, saying with an 18-billion-dollar deficit, the province can't bail them as it has in the past.
