I do think we have what we need in this bill to assure that if we create a universally accessible system, it won't be in the for-profit sector. This is really important, because I think, with this bill, over the years we will see new funding coming into the system in terms of creating universality and that it won't be in the for-profit sector.
I want to underscore that for many of us who have worked in pushing for this kind of program for most of our working lives, to see a national child care program recognizing Quebec's distinct nature, if we see it come about in the for-profit sector, we would not want it.
When you look at what happened in Australia, you see that 70% of their system now is operated by big commercial child care, and we've seen the interest already coming in from U.S. for-profits and some Canadian homegrown for-profit organizations coming in. What they're interested in is the public funding. And they won't operate in rural areas; they won't open their premises to children with diverse needs and inclusive needs; they won't be in aboriginal communities. They'll probably be in very wealthy areas where they then have large amounts of public funding coming into those programs.
So I really caution you all that ensuring that it's a non-profit delivery is really critical.
