I can give you another example.
I do this position as a volunteer, but I have paid employment as an executive director of a child care program in Winnipeg. I had a call one day a couple of weeks ago, just as I was leaving, from a very distraught father. He said, “I've never needed child care before, but I just had a shift change, and I need a space for my child on Monday.”
Well, this was Thursday afternoon, and he thought he was really ahead of the game. He thought by calling and booking time a day early, it would give him the chance to come and visit the centre. But I had to tell him we had a waiting list, which, depending on the age of the child--his child was three--would probably be about two years. He couldn't believe it.
So for him, the $100 didn't make a lick of difference. He might have had it in his pocket, but he couldn't pay a dime of it on child care. He needed child care when he needed it, and that was Monday, not two years from Monday.
