Yes. Unregulated. I assume they follow rules like the Criminal Code and tax laws, etc. but there are no childcare rules for them to follow. That is what I meant when I said the gov't is undermining the system. If someone wants to have more than 6 of other people's children come in, they can. And there is no restriction that includes the provider's own children. Personally, I don't agree that this is better for parents. It might look better from a financial point of view, but what about those kids? Yikes!
Someone told me once that the maximum of 9 children under the age of 9yo, is actually from the fire code, and applies to all houses all the time. I don't know if that is true through. The Fire Code is part of the national Building Code and it isn't available online. I don't feel like paying $500 to read it.
If you are interested, I will give you links to the law and regulations we have to follow.
The Educational Childcare Act.
