Ontario Caregivers - daycare announcement due today

[gravy_train]

Oh - the first of playfelt's links (produced by the Atkinson Centre for Society and Child Development says,
"Bill 143 passed first reading in the Ontario Legislature on December 3, 2013 and has been circulated for written feedback by February 28, 2014. Committee hearings for 2nd reading have not yet been established."

Thanks, playfelt - i was able to log on to the provincial site and see that the second reading isn't scheduled yet. Here's the link to check in on;

I was wondering if that Feb 28 was the date they will start the debate.

I also got from the other site that the ministry plans to go ahead with the school changes and then the daycare centre changes no matter what the agreement is. It almost makes it sound like tacking home care onto the bill was an afterthought just to appease people and not the priority of the bill but bet it takes priority in discussions given the feedback we sent to MPPs.

Did some more searching during naptime and here are a few interesting articles - not all of them positive or showing that they understand the bill but still nice to know where people stand on the issues: note that Andrew fleck is holding another info night
