Please DO NOT pass this bill…

Please DO NOT pass this bill. This bill is not for the people it's for businesses to profit at our expense.

Ontario needs more licensed daycares, affordable rates and more RECEs. People want to send their children to safe environments that will enrich their learning. Increasing the amount of children per caregiver would decrease the quality of care and put children's safety at risk. Infants and young children require a lot of care and they are our future. We should be investing in them!

The Employment Standards Act was created to protect employees. If the bill comes into effect it would leave employees open for being taken advantage of by employers looking to profit at their expense by not hiring enough staff. Studies have shown that excessive work hours lead to higher rates of stress, mental illness and even suicide. This would result in higher rates of leaves of absence, disease, increased pressure on our healthcare systems and decreased productivity in our workforce. More progressive countries are moving towards more work-life balance that promotes the health and wellbeing of the workforce and increases productivity.

Our country is known for its amazing environment and preserving that is important to the future of the country and its people. We should be taking more steps to ensure the health and wellbeing of the land and it's citizens. Toxic Chemicals could damage this country beyond repair. We would be looking at loss of greenery, clean drinking water, and wildlife as well as, increased incidence of disease, illnesses and death.
