The research in Quebec has suggested that this is already happening. People of greater means are accessing the system on the backs of those who would most need it financially. I think there are various reasons for that. Ultimately, any kind of system that fails to identify those who are truly in need and creates a benefit for people who are the least in need of it strikes me as an inequitable way to provide child care.
We work with a definition of child care that says that anyone who cares for a child is doing child care. When you broaden out to look at the ecosystem of care, we don't have child care deserts across the country. We have parents, family, ethnic communities and all kinds of different care options available. They just aren't recognized by those who are strong proponents of a national day care system. I have very grave concerns about one homogeneous, universal style of system coming in and squashing the existing ecosystem of care.
