The McGuinty government should put Ontario's kids first. That means full public funding and  delivery of children's services. Right now Children's Aid Society and children's mental health programs aren't gettting the money they need to deliver legislated services.

At the same time, the Pascal Report - which recommended publicly funded and delivered, universal early learning programs for children - isn't being fully implemented. Instead the McGuinty Liberals are only implementing services for 4 and 5 year-olds, while programs for younger kids are closing due to lack of funding.

Support for the McGuinty Early Learning plan is widespread, but the plan doesnt go far enough. Local school boards , who are expected to implement it, have all kinds of unanswered questions and concerns about funding shortfalls. 

Premier McGuinty needs to deliver adequate funding for Children's Aid, mental health services AND fully fund all of Pascal's recommendations.
