Reversal of Regulations - Ontario

[cfred]

Reverse as in: no more 2 under 2 and a providers own children no longer count in her numbers? And we get to remain private?

Here is the statement I just issued on FB

"Earlier this week CICPO issued a statement regarding a comment made by a Progressive Conservative candidate to one of our members. I know many of you have specific questions. Here is what we can tell you:

** The Progressive Conservative Party have expressed a strong interest in reforming the CCEYA and collaborating with us on that task. Our main focus is on the 2 under 2 clause, tweaking the inclusion of a provider's own children and implementing a mandatory safety standard including First Aid/CPR, appropriate insurance, CO2/smoke alarms and Emergency Plans.

** We have been in contact with government policy advisors and are
assured that our goal to change the current legislation is both legal and possible.

CICPO is prepared to go to bat for ICPs again. With the next election in just 14 months there is lots of work to be done! We look forward to working with ICPs again to keep the most prolific and diverse childcare sector viable for the future generations of Ontario families.

We need all hands on deck! This is it folks!"

The Progressive Conservatives have been supporting ICPs since Bill 143 was tabled. That's a very long game for ANY political party. This is our only shot at changes so we're really gunning for it at this point. I've kissed my husband goodbye for the next 14 months, lol.
