#1. You have 13 schedules that you are trying to amend or repeal, way too many in one Act , each one needs to be changed individually, if they should happen at all
#2. I am just highlighting a couple that really upset me .
Schedule 3: Ministry of Education
• Remove restrictions on home-based child care providers, including allowing additional children, to make it easier for parents to find affordable child care.
Low income earners need affordable regulated day care. Toddlers have died in unregulated home based day cares. You should be working to eliminate unregulated day care, not encouraging their growth , fully licensed affordable day cares are what Ontario parents need.
Schedule 9: Ministry of Labour
• Amend the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA) to reduce regulatory burden on businesses, including no longer requiring them to obtain approval from the Director of Employment Standards for excess hours of work and overtime averaging. WOW this is a retrograde step, workers need to have choices and ones that are not forced on them by their employers just so the the employer gets rich on the backs of their workforce. These rules were put in place to stop just that type of employer, now you are encouraging forced labour AGAIN
• Stop requiring employers to post the Employment Standards Act (ESA) poster in the workplace, but retain the requirement that they provide the poster to employees.
WOW again not helping the under privileged worker, who often looses that piece of paper, is at work and wants to know what their rights are under the ESA. Again this letting unscrupulous employers get away with undermining the rights of their employees.
PLEASE STOP BILL 66 far too widespread and what 100 jobs would it create, during building, when open all part time this is very loose. It does not help anyone municipalities or workers. The only people it will help are unscrupulous developers who already push the limits and leave Ontario in worse position in the future.
