Legal Aid Ontario sent a letter to staff Thursday as the government tabled its first budget, saying the province is reducing funding to the organization by 30 per cent.The budget says “streamlining the delivery of legal aid to promote long-term sustainability” is expected to reduce the funding by $164 million in 2021-22.
Legal Aid CEO David Field says in the letter that the province has indicated it will no longer fund refugee and immigration law services, “outside of any potential transition costs.” He says Legal Aid Ontario will need to figure out how to continue its refugee program using its federal funding.
Good!!!!!!!!
You are taking advantage of the fact that most of your viewers are low information.. IT IS NOT your mandate to play partisan politics, you are disgracing your profession as journalists..
Furthermore your guest and anchor have been engaging in spreading LIES. that the tax has just a small impact and most people will get back more than they pay.The tax will increase every year and it's going to impact prices in many insidious ways not reflected in govt calculations
I turn to CP24 to check the weather and traffic. Covering news DOES NOT mean spewing your anti-democratic activist agenda. The PC government was elected after clearly stating fighting the carbon tax is on their platform, this is what the people of Ontario WANT.
Good
Statement from refugee lawyers:
Makes sense
Thank you, thank you. Finally some common sense.
Good!!
Great news!! Love it!! Why the hell should I be paying for some illegal immigrant to tie up our courts! Its bad enough how much we pay them to be here in the 1st place!
Now lets get JustinTrudeau off of canadas wallet too. time2go
Thank goodness! Had I known we were all paying for foreign criminals to take advantage of us I'd have been angry about it. But, you and the CBC and Global and CTV don't bother reporting anything that's important to Canadians. Just garbage propaganda that the govt pays you to run.
Immigration system is a sick joke that needs a lot of sharpening to do ask the immigration fraud victims to many loose holes in this field so good Ford did something to harden the immigration revolving doors
What? How was this ever allowed to have happened in the first place? Than you Premier for looking after Ontarians and stopping this ridiculous practice.
Good!
Let me keep more of my own money and maybe I could afford to help people. Common sense
YES!!!!!!
Canada owes 2 freaking trillion dollars, 93% of gdp. Ontario 350 billion. Does it sound like efficient spending? Keynesian economics sucks Private businesses would do broke if they spent like that but governmet doesn't need to profit, right?
Thank you fordnation. Let JustinTrudeau and HonAhmedHussen pay for their lover boys out of their own pockets. There is no reason hard-working Canadians should deduct %35 of their paycheck for this non-sense.
I mean....okay. I guess.
Good. Spend the money on actual citizens.
Good move! ALL refugee/immigrant costs should be paid by Federal liberal_party, not fordnation.
War on the poor continues. Can't let them have access to lawyers! More money for Doug's corporate friends, folks.
