The feds are insisting that action will soon be taken to resolve the Phoenix fiasco. And by resolve, they mean to end it. The track record since its 2016 launch has been far from glamorous. It hasn’t reached catastrophic levels on a country-wide scale, but it’s still not reliable after nearly a decade in service, and something has to be done. Are you confident that the Trudeau Liberals can right this wrong? Kristy Cameron tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, as we head into the Victoria Day long weekend, gardening season is in full force. Whether it’s your rookie season, or it’s another year in another decade, gardening expert Carson Arthur has some tricks for all of Ottawa’s green thumbs to follow!

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. May 16th, 2024

The federal government says it is accelerating plans to end the error-ridden Phoenix pay system. Per the latest numbers, as of last month, more than 300,000 of the 425,000 Phoenix transactions had failed to meet service standards. This Includes the 213,000 that were more than 12 months late. The pending solution, according to the feds, is a slew of A.I. tools that would clean up the clogged data and reduce future late payments. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Stéphanie Montreuil, PIPSC’s Head of Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. Meantime, the Ford government has notified Ontario’s childcare centres that it will implement a new way of funding the national $10-per-day program. Operators have urgently called for these changes, as the current model continues to sputter down the racetrack.
