These I hated, too. I thought it was just a wast of time someone just seating there and chatting. If parents knew about it I don't think they would be that impress with the agency visitsQuote:

It looks like the legislature did not get a chance to do the second reading yesterday. It's expected to go for the 2nd reading on Monday.
I have a random question/comment:
Does anyone know if there is any information on the # of children who have been seriously injured or died while in unlicensed care verses the # in licensed care... there has to be some percentages that would be "mind blowing"
For example, say there are 100 000 children in daycare in Canada, licensed and unlicensed combined.
Of those 100 000, 80 000 are in unlicensed care and 20 000 are in licensed.
of those 80 000 in unlicensed care say 10 were seriously injured or died while in care, this equals 0.0125%
Of those 20 000 in licensed case say 2 were seriously injured or died while in care, this equals 0.01%
Thats pretty equal in %...
Anyone have these # so it can be compared?
There is also a difference between unlicensed and illegal. I am NOT in the same category as the place in Vaughan where they had 27 children. I am unlicensed but adhere to the law.
That's the issue I'm having with this whole thing. It's truly unfair that we're all lumped into the same category. I feel that we've all been vilified by the media. The government, I believe, has stood by and let it happen without any word whatsoever in this regard because it takes the heat off them for a job very poorly done on their part. Regardless of the rules in place (some of which I agree with, some I don't), this is just another instance in which we are shown as providers, once again, that there is no one in our corner. After 20 years in this business, both licensed and unlicensed, not much has changed. We still don't have any protection. We still don't have public or government support. We still are not valued in any capacity of the business. The fact that a garbage man has more earning potential than those who raise this country's children is a very sad commentary of where we stand in the pecking order.
Remember to sign the online petition, comment on it, get everyone you know to do as well. There are MPPs in the province now following it. Make sure to contact those MPPs as well and tell them how the new legislation will impact you. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/934/6...rnization-act/
I looked at the petition, but it requires us to enter our full address and name. I wasn't comfortable with entering that information online. Also, if it's the same one I looked at, there were some spelling/gramatical mistakes in it that I thought made it seem a bit unprofessional (no offence at all toward whoever wrote it).
Completely agree with your concerns, but it seems it is all we have right now. So many people I know have already signed and/or commented on it. This is my livelihood, so I have no issue posting my name on a petition. Keep in mind there is the option to hide your name on the site as well.Quote:
