The Ford government is offering to double the federal paid sick day payments to $1,000 a week; a proposal the feds say is simply not good enough.
Rather than creating its own program, the Ford government has suggested to the federal government that it pay the difference and offer workers $1,000 a week rather than the current $500.
Ontario’s Labour Minister, Monte McNaughton, confirmed Tuesday that the province won’t legislate provincial paid sick leave as Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy says doubling down on the federal government’s plan would be the fastest way to enhance sick leave for provincial workers.

PARIS (Reuters) - An agreement on rewriting outdated rules for international taxation is within grasp this year as the new U.S. administration of President Joe Biden is more open to a deal, finance ministers said on Thursday.
Nearly 140 countries are negotiating the first update in a generation to the rules for taxing cross-border commerce, to account for the emergence of big digital companies like Google, Apple and Facebook.
“After so many years of work and debate on the appropriate coordinated tax response to the challenges of digitalisation of the economy, a global agreement is within reach,” Italian Economy Minister Roberto Gualtieri said.
