Committee review

[bright sparks]

Thanks to everyone who worked so xhard fighting for this. I, like many others are thankful for my peers who came together to protest and fight for what we believe to be a necessary change in this bill and I am sincerely dissappointed that in a country like Canada that we clearly don't have a government that is willing to allow their voters to actually have a say in how ouur country is run.

This changing the age of a child from under 10 to under 13 is ridiculous. My son is 12 Xmas eve this year and stays home alone and is legally allowed too. He babysits for short periods of time and can cook a frickin basic meal without supervision and does laundry and other chores independently to contribute to the household. But...he will now have to count in my numbers I assume???? That is some kind of BS right there. Absolute nonsense. Someone earlier mentioned Jan 2016?? Well, he'd be 13 just at that time and wouldn't be an issue and thank goodness I'm set up to be quitting the biz and going to school full time. I was likely one of a few that thinks there should be heavy regulations and support aome kind of limitations including ratios although I don't agree with Bill 10's outline, but honestly where do they come up with this stuff. It blows my mind that these muppets are running the country and can legally give us a massive middle finger and dismiss all of our concerns, which are not only valid but also things that can be explained and proven to not increase safety, and then have the ordacity to claim that we have a say in how our country is run. This is a perfect example of how we just don't at all.
