安大略省在新的一年里将做出一些改变，这可能会影响您的钱包和业务。以下是您可能需要注意的一些事项：
These are the big changes coming to Ontario in 2024 Ontario is making a number of changes in the new year that could impact your wallet and business. Here are some that you should be aware of:
司机保险新规定
一月份，驾车者可以选择不购买直接赔偿财产损失（DCPD）保险，该保险可以保护车主在没有过错的情况下免受与碰撞造成的车辆损坏相关的费用
省政府表示，这一变化旨在增加消费者的选择，对于那些价值低于保险费用的旧车的驾驶员来说可能有用。
专家警告说，选择退出 DCPD 承保范围后，司机将面临车辆维修或车辆丢失的责任。RH 保险总监摩根·罗伯茨 (Morgan Roberts) 告诉多伦多 CTV 新闻，节省的费用不值得进行权衡。
New insurance rules for drivers
In January, motorists will have the option not to buy into direct compensation property damage (DCPD) coverage, which protects car owners from costs related to vehicle damage from a collision if they are not at fault.
The provincial government says the change is meant to increase consumer choice and could be useful for drivers of older cars that are worth less than the insurance cost.
Experts warn that by opting out of DCPD coverage, drivers will be on the hook for vehicle repairs or the loss of a vehicle. Morgan Roberts, director of RH Insurance, told CTV News Toronto (opens in a new tab) the savings aren’t worth the trade-off.
临时机构的新规则
自 7 月 1 日起，新立法将规定无证公司进行人员招募属于违法行为。这意味着临时帮助机构和招聘人员必须获得许可。这将包括背景调查。
政府表示，如果这些机构违反规定，将受到“巨额罚款”。当时的劳工部长表示，罚款可能高达 50,000 加元，或者“终身禁止在安大略省经营”。
New rules for temp agencies
New legislation will make it illegal for companies to use unlicensed businesses for staffing as of July 1. This means that temporary help agencies and recruiters must be licensed. This will include a background check. The government has said these agencies will be subject to “massive fines” if they break the rules.
The Minister of Labour at the time said the penalties could be as high as $50,000 or a “lifetime ban of operating in Ontario.”
汽油税减税延期
安大略省的天然气和燃油税率削减期限延长至 2024 年 6 月 30 日。
这项减税政策于 2022 年 7 月首次宣布，每升汽油价格降低约 5.7 分，道格·福特政府多次延长减
税期限。进步保守党估计该立法每年为普通家庭节省 260 加元。
Gas tax cut extension
Ontario’s gas and fuel tax rate cuts were extended until June 30, 2024.
The tax cut, which reduces prices at the pump by about 5.7 cents per litre, was first announced in July 2022 and has been repeatedly extended by the Doug Ford government. The Progressive Conservatives estimate the legislation has saved the average household $260 annually.
儿童看护安全规则
安大略省的儿童保育经营者必须制定政策，规定如果孩子没有到达或没有按预期接走时该怎么办。
安全抵达计划（在新选项卡中打开）旨在防止幼儿被意外留在热车内的罕见情况。2022 年，安省班克罗夫特一名 23 个月大的男孩被意外留在热车内死亡，一名安省母亲发起请愿，要求政府指导托儿服务经营者制定类似计划。
Child-care safety rules
Child-care operators in Ontario must have a policy in place for what to do if a child does not arrive or is not picked up as expected.
The safe arrival program (opens in a new tab) is meant to prevent rare cases in which a young child is accidentally left in a hot car. In 2022, an Ontario mother started a petition asking the government to direct child-care operators to come up with a similar program after a 23-month-old boy was accidentally left in a hot car and died in Bancroft, Ont.
幼儿教育工作者薪资上涨
安大略省正在将大多数有执照的托儿中心的幼儿教育工作者的最低工资（在新选项卡中打开）提高到每小时 23.86 元。
这一变化是安省战略的一部分，旨在留住该部门的员工，因为安省正在努力建立每天 10 加元的托儿服务。2024 年之后，工资下限将增加 1 加元，到 2026 年将达到 25.86 加元。
Pay increases for early childhood educators
Ontario is boosting the minimum wage (opens in a new tab) of early childhood educators in most licensed child-care centres to $23.86 an hour.
The change is part of a provincial strategy meant to retain staff in the sector as Ontario works towards establishing $10-a-day child care.After 2024, the wage floor will increase by $1, up to $25.86 in 2026.
最低工资上涨
最低工资将于 2024 年 10 月提高，但具体提高幅度尚不清楚。
去年，道格·福特政府将最低工资提高了一美元，从 15.50 加元提高到 16.55 加元。一个省和一个地区的最低工资率高于安大略省。尽管如此，安大略省生活工资网络表示，这不足以支付个人的生活费用。
Minimum wage increase
The minimum wage will go up in October 2024, although it’s unclear by how much.
Last year the Doug Ford government bumped up the minimum wage by a full dollar, from $15.50 to $16.55.One province and one territory have higher minimum wage rates than Ontario. Despite this, the Ontario Living Wage Network says it’s not enough for individuals to cover their cost of living.
更多大麻零售店
安大略省将于 2024 年增加大麻经营者可以管理的店面数量（在新选项卡中打开）。之前的立法将每个经营者的商店数量上限为 75 家，同时立法独立商店必须距离学校至少 150 米。新法律允许持牌大麻零售商经营最多 150 个店面。
2020 年 1 月 6 日星期一，多伦多皇后街的其他商店中可以看到大麻药房的标牌。本省还禁止在提供托儿服务的家庭中种植大麻。
More cannabis retail stores
Ontario will increase the number of storefronts a cannabis operator can manage (opens in a new tab)in 2024. Previous legislation capped the number of stores per operator at 75, while legislating the stand-alone stores must be at least 150 metres away from schools. The new laws allow licensed cannabis retailers to operate up to 150 storefronts.
Signage for a Cannabis dispensary is seen amongst other shops on Queen St. in Toronto, Monday, Jan. 6, 2020. The province has also banned the growing of cannabis in homes offering child care.
分享患者信息将被罚款
新法律将对不当访问或共享个人健康信息的个人和组织处以罚款。这些处罚将由信息和隐私专员实施。
Fines for sharing patient information
New laws will impose fines on individuals and organizations that inappropriately access or share personal health information. These penalties will be handed out by the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
电子烟税
由于省级关税，安大略省电子烟产品的价格可能会上涨，制造商和进口商将为前 10 毫升每两毫升电子烟液体支付 2 加元，然后每 10 毫升为 2 加元除此之外。这将使电子烟产品目前的联邦税率增加一倍。
Vaping tax
The price of vaping products in Ontario will likely go up due to a provincial duty that would see manufacturers and importers pay $2 per two millilitre of vaping liquids for the first 10 millilitres, then $2 per 10 millilitres for volumes beyond that. This will double the current federal duty rates on vaping products.
更快地获得国际教师的许可
安大略省政府要求安大略省教师学院在申请后 60 天内决定是否接受国际培训的教师。其目标是在留住员工面临挑战的时期鼓励更快地招聘。
该省的《更好的学校和学生成果法案》将于新年生效，该法案简化了在共享场地上建设学校和处置剩余学校董事会财产的流程。
Faster licencing for international teachers
The Ontario government is requiring the Ontario College of Teachers to decide within 60 days of an application whether to accept an internationally trained teacher. The goal is to encourage faster hiring during a time at which staff retention is challenging.
The province’s Better Schools and Student Outcomes Act, which streamlines processes for building schools on shared-use sites and disposing of surplus school board property, goes into effect in the new year.
拖车行业的变革
自 1 月 1 日起，该省将负责对拖车经营者、司机和车辆储存经营者进行认证。
作为认证的一部分，个人必须满足某些培训、保险和车辆安全标准，并接受犯罪记录检查。这也意味着这些个人将不受市政商业许可细则的约束。还将引入新的客户权利，包括同意拖车、选择拖车地点以及有关车辆使用和付款的规则。
Changes for tow truck industry
As of Jan. 1, the province will become responsible for certifying tow operators, drivers and vehicle storage operators.
As part of the certification, individuals will have to meet certain training, insurance and vehicle safety standards—as well as get a criminal record check. It also means that these individuals will be exempt from municipal business licensing by-laws. New customer rights will also be introduced that include providing consent to tow, choosing where a vehicle is towed, and rules surrounding accessing and paying for a vehicle.
