You're right, it won't. To little to late. People should have put as much effort into complaining about it 6 months ago into putting that into action. Lots of people have, but majority haven't and a lot of parents seem to be unbelievably dismissive of this even being something worth worrying about. I'm grateful for those who have at least tried to fight this but ultimately I feel that we don't stand a chance if people don't follow up talk with action. I know for sure a number of people who will have no time and zero tolerance for those who complain about the bill once it's passed but did nothing to at least "try" to affect change to the bill. I myself am feeling defeated and think that some of the action taken was good while others could have been executed much better but I wrote letters, attended day of action and can say I tried my personal best to be involved and represent my industry. It may have been for nothing, almost certainly, but I think for myself it was better to have tried and failed than not at all. For goodness sakes I am leaving the industry in less than a year for school. If for no other reason than child safety I felt it my duty as a provider of 9 years and a mother of two to speak up for the fact that this bill does nothing to make children safer. That's my biggest pet peeve. It's just a for profit bill of BS in my opinion but I do believe strongly having worked in this capacity in another countries home daycare setting that there should be licensing, there should be ratios and there should be mandatory training, upgrading and regular consistent inspections for all. That is how we ensure children's safety not with this stack of liberal toilet paper they dare to call a bill.

Rant over ladies haha

I disagree. If the effects of this bill are as bad as many have predicted, the government will be forced to backpedal or make changes or do SOMETHING. We don't have to bend over and take whatever the gov gives us. When/if a daycare shortage occurs in Ontario and parents can no longer participate in the workforce something will have to be done.

I just don't think parents realize YET the impacts this will have. They will when it does.

It's pretty obvious how this will effect the home daycare providers but I am in constant awe at how parents don't seem to realize that it screws them over the most. They will lose their jobs because of the lack of daycare spots for under 2's leaving all sorts of industries effected. Some providers have said they were considering having another child but are now reconsidering, it's on mass for the parents who consider growing their brood and then how about all those parents who don't even know the law, don't research and go ahead and have more babies to suddenly realize they can not return to work although, that mortgage still has to be paid....oh the potential ramifications are endless.

The bill will just result in a childcare crisis that's for sure.

If this passes by Xmas I will likely suggest that my two who would turn two in 4 weeks after that time go to grandmas until their birthday. I know they have some flexibility short term. Hopefully that will solve the issue for me. I can't lose 1500 a month income just like that without notice. This will cripple a lot of providers who rely on this income.

That sounds like a good plan. I'm sure they will go for it otherwise they risk not being able to find a spot anywhere else anyways.
