Yes. There are a couple of things we have some concerns with, although we want to work to find some compromise.
We want it to be a bit more focused, and if it's possible, we want to have a friendly amendment that would suggest that the committee examine the models of child care adopted in Quebec, Manitoba, Ontario, and other provinces and territories, because we want the models, not just the principles, to be examined.
For example, there's a really wonderful trial on a new approach to child care that has come out of Toronto, called Toronto First Duty, that we'd like to look at so that everybody here can share what we find in our examination with the rest of the country, and other people would know what's going on there.
That is one recommendation I would make. I would also suggest that we might want to look at setting a date of November of this year to report back to Parliament.
Also, part two of our original motion is missing, so let me just read it again:
There has been much talk of the principles embedded in successful models. These principles, such as respecting community needs, the integration of services (such as the First Duty model in Toronto), affordability, parental involvement, licensing, and a measurement to determine quality, should be examined as well, as far as we're concerned.
