Thank you.
My point is that we have been adamant and we've been the only party saying we want parents to have the freedom to choose. We want all children included in this bill. That's why we will support this amendment. Again, we've seen the Liberals not supporting this.
I want to say this: There's a quote that came to me yesterday. It's on a public forum, the Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario, and it says, “Why are so many home childcare providers closing? I just filed my taxes: 56% of incoming funds went directly back into my program.” They are closing because they cannot afford to stay open because of the way this legislation is written.
That's all I have to say, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
