The NDP saying the welcomed the bill is really nothing more than politicking on her part in that she knows this is important to the people of Ontario and at the same time is non-committal saying she will read the document before deciding to support it as is - meaning there is still room for improvement/debate in theory. At the same time no party is going to want to be labelled as holding up such "important" legislation.
That under 10 rule is still floating around and mostly I don't think those reporting the news are reading things as closely as we are because it doesn't effect them nor do they understand the system as it is now. Even on a facebook forum I am on they are arguing the 1 under 1, 2 under 2, 3 under 3 rule and messing everyone up. It seems to be falling on deaf ears to please forget what you know now and go read the new report.
