Prince Edward Island’s Action Plan for fiscal year 2022 to 2023

Official title: Prince Edward Island’s action plan for fiscal year 2022 to 2023

Prince Edward Island's action plan for fiscal year 2022 to 2023

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Prince Edward Island's ability to deliver on the initiatives outlined in the fiscal year 2022 to 2023 action plan may be affected. As such, the targets may not be achieved and expenditures may differ.

The bilateral agreement projects continue to be status quo, with rising budget demands on “Infant and Preschool Spaces” and “Alternate Hours” lines, reflecting the increasing cost of spaces and the rates in the wage grid implemented in our designated Early Years Centres.
