Affordability

Childcare

Promesses de ONDP

Create 53,000 new, public or not-for-profit affordable childcare spaces
Establish a regional waitlist for childcare spaces
Establish a wage grid for childcare workers and ensure decent work standards

"We will establish a wage grid for child care workers and ensure decent work standards to keep them on the job." — On Your Side: The Ontario NDP Plan for the North, retrieved 2025-02-20

Food costs

Promesses de ONDP

Provide a recurring monthly grocery rebate based on household income and family size

"Designing a refundable tax credit in Ontario linked to food purchased from stores indicators from the Ontario Consumer Price Index (O-CPI) and phased in similarly to the Ontario Childcare Access and Relief from Expenses (CARE) Tax Credit requires a structured approach that balances inflation responsiveness, income sensitivity, and administrative feasibility.

The NDP’s Monthly Grocery Rebate would be delivered to Ontarians on a monthly basis. The baseline credit/benefit is tied to the cost of a basket of essential food items, how much each family spent on the basket of essential food items annually before Ford became Premier, and how much that price has increased since. The amount is increased given changes to the price of the basket of essential food items in grocery stores. The rebate is non-taxable and recipients are identified based on 2024 tax filings.

This design ensures the credit adapts to rising food costs while targeting low-to-moderate-income families. By borrowing some successful elements from Ontario’s existing refundable credits (e.g., the CARE Tax Credit’s phase-in structure and the Trillium Benefit’s inflation adjustments), it balances equity, efficiency, and simplicity.

Eligibility Criteria

Residency: Recipients must be Ontario residents as of December 31 of the tax year.

Income Threshold: Introduce a phased-in structure where the credit amount decreases as household income rises.

• Full credit for family households with adjusted net income ≤ $65,000; full credit for individuals with adjusted net income ≤$50,000.

• Partial credit phased out by 3.5% of family household income exceeding $65,000, and reaching zero at $100,000 (final phase-out credit = 51%)

• Partial credit phased out by 3.5% of individual income exceeding $50,000, and reaching zero at $65,000 (final phase-out credit = 51%)

Base Credit: Provides $40 per adult in each household.

Family Size Adjustments: Provide additional amounts per dependent (eg $20 base credit per child under 18) to reflect higher food costs for larger households."

Require big grocery retailers to publish when they raise prices more than 2% in a week
Establish a watchdog to enforce competition laws and keep food prices fair

"We will create an office for a provincial Consumer Watchdog that will be a one stop shop for consumer complaints. A core challenge of consumer protection in Ontario that enforcement requires the individual to pursue legal action, or the Government of Ontario to impose a fine on those who violate it. You shouldn't need a lawyer to stop corporations from gouging you with deceptive pricing. The Consumer Watchdog would hold the power to investigate businesses or other entities on consumer protection laws or practices. They could release public reports similar to the Auditor General or the Ombudsman of Ontario, and to level fines or other penalties against businesses found to be in violation of consumer protection legislation." — ontariondp.ca, retrieved 2025-02-20

"We will establish a Corporate Crime and Competition Bureau to enforce competition laws and prevent coordinated price hikes among Ontario grocers. The Bureau would focus on actively monitoring large corporations and conspiracies that would otherwise be nearly impossible to detect at the consumer level." — ontariondp.ca, retrieved 2025-02-20

Create a universal school food programme, using fresh food prepared and grown in-province

"Feed students. Kids can’t learn on an empty stomach. Families are facing record high grocery bills, and inflation from tariffs could drive up costs even further. We’ll create a universal School Food Program so that every child in Ontario is set up to succeed. Ontario already feeds some kids in school, we’ll expand it for all and use fresh food prepared and grown right here in Ontario to do it. We can help kids focus on their teacher, not their hunger, and give families some financial relief." — ontariondp.ca, retrieved 2025-02-20

Dedicated teachers, educational assistants, child and youth workers, ECEs, custodial and trade workers – they make all the difference helping students get the one-on-one attention they need and maintaining a nurturing learning environment.

"Ontario needs a centralized referral system that covers the entire province and its specialties.

Connect doctors to a support team for administrative work

"We will unlock more time for doctors to spend with patients by cutting the administrative burden and connecting doctors to a support team." — ontariondp.ca, retrieved 2025-02-20

"Patients Ahead of Paperwork: Family doctors are spending up to 20 hours a week, the equivalent of more than two days of full-time work, on the paperwork burden — filling out lengthy forms, writing unnecessary sick notes for employers — time that eats away at the amount of time doctors can spend with patients. Taking paperwork off of doctors’ desks will allow them to see an avg of 20 more patients a day.

• The Ontario Medical Association estimates that 40-50% of their time can be freed up when doctors are connected to team-based care. By reducing the amount of time doctors spend on administrative work, we can unlock thousands of hours for doctors to spend with patients and significantly increase the number of patients that each doctor can roster.

• We will streamline time-consuming administrative tasks and reduce the number of forms that are required to be filled out by a doctor

• We will invest in a surge of additional healthcare staff so that doctors can spend their time being doctors." — ontariondp.ca, retrieved 2025-02-20

"We will pay community health workers fairly to make sure the sector does not fall behind. We will increase residency seats and licensing opportunities for internationally trained doctors and healthcare workers already here in Ontario who are not yet able to practice.

• We will add 3,500 doctors to the primary care system by increasing residency spots in medical schools and incentivizing new graduates to stay in primary care by connecting them to an interdisciplinary team.

No longer require family doctors to pay when their patients receive care from a walk-in clinic

"Stop the practice of “negation,” where your family doctor has to pay when you receive care from a walk-in clinic, and patients can face “deregistration” and lose their doctor as a result." — ontariondp.ca, retrieved 2025-02-20

Increase pay in the community health sector by investing in a base budget increase of 5% annually for community health organisations

"Make sure workers in the community health sector are paid fairly.

Work with the federal government to increase funding for the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit, which assists with rental costs
