Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It is very important to understand clearly that in our system here in Quebec, private daycares compete not on quality, but on price. To keep the price at $40 per day per child, a lot of things have to be left out, and, in general, it is the quality that declines. I don't see daycares offering to have parents pay $50 rather than $40 to get better quality services: the parents would say "whatever", and would choose another daycare that keeps its price at $40.
The problem with child care services is that they are not a tangible good, like frozen Brussels sprouts or like cars. The consequences associated with the quality of the services will be seen in children in a much longer term. As a result, it is difficult. It would be possible to keep the private daycares in the system, on the condition that the authorities impose strict quality criteria and monitor compliance with the criteria very closely.
