Indira Naidoo - Harris, Ontario's minister responsible for early learning and child care, says the
province's recent Changing Workplaces Review, which recommends an increase to the minimum wage, 10
paid sick days and a three - week
paid vacation, is «good for child care workers, good for children and good for families.»
While designed to weed out vacant investment properties or «satellite families» — those who dwell in the
province while the breadwinner earns their income and
pays their taxes elsewhere — the immediate response has been that the tax is most painful for out - of -
province vacation home owners, who now face thousands in additional property taxes per year.
