Torontokids....are you part of CICPO? I'm not sure how well versed you are on Bill 10. If you've not been following it on the groups site, then there might be a few things you're not aware of. This bill was started in 2012. Research has turned up proof that agencies were the policy writers. Agencies, who stand to make the most from Bill 10 actually wrote it. It is for this reason that a cooperative may not be in our future. Maybe they'll surprise us and let us have it, but I'd not be at all shocked if they didn't, no matter how much sense it makes. The fact appears to be that Bill 10 isn't so much about child safety...which is obvious from the mere 6 inspectors assigned to the province....and probably more about trying to salvage a drowning licensed sector, with as little punch to the government pocket book as possible. The best way to achieve that? Herding us into agencies. This brings in the revenue the licensed sector needs while giving the appearance of competence and 'teeth' the government needs. It's pretty much a gigantic farce. So in a new system where logic and fairness is flagrantly cast aside, I am skeptical that we'll get the go ahead to start a cooperative. I may be waaaaay off base, but this whole affair has been a circus thus far. Besides, other people are focused on the cooperative idea right now....I'm on this. There are plenty of us on task doing different jobs.
