That would be the worst government move ever. As far as I could guess most, the large majority, of home daycares would be shut down. I have my ECE, as do some on here, but most do not. It is a 2yr degree. Most home daycare providers wouldn't even want to take the degree (if they are home for a few years with their kids and not doing this forever).

I don't believe the government would even try this move. They would have mass chaos as most of the provinces families would be without care. The implications of such a move are very wide spread.

Not that the proposed plan isn't going to have very big, negative impacts...but the additional need of an ECE diploma would wipe most companies out as their workers would have to be home with their kids.
