I agree with you. The principles in this bill are very similar, if not virtually the same, as the previous cost-sharing program.
If I could address the issue of profit/non-profit, in the city of Toronto, 22% of our child care system is for profit. We have the remainder either directly delivered by the municipality or through community-based non-profit child care programs. We have made a commitment to expanding only the non-profit sector. It took some time, but we have very firmly taken that position now. We know, and even recent research has demonstrated, that it is more likely to have high-quality child care in the non-profit sector.
A study released just this week, specifically on Toronto, was very interesting. Despite the fact that we have a second tier of regulatory regime that we apply to all of our contracted services, differences were still found between the for-profit and non-profit sectors in terms of quality. We believe that all the expansion in the future should be in the non-profit sector. We will grandparent, and we are grandparenting, the existing for-profit operations.
That's what this bill does. It doesn't say they all have to convert to non-profit. It doesn't say you can't fund the existing commercial sector. It simply says, moving forward, it should go in the non-profit sector, and we fully support that.
