Regarding 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.
Lower the age of children that authorized recreation programs can serve from 6 to 4.
My comment: I believe there have been serious issues with overcrowded (non-compliant) child care providers that has shown it is unsafe for the children if such overcrowding is allowed. I therefore disagree with this change.
Regarding Schedule 4: Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines
Repeal the authority of the Ontario Energy Board to set rates for Unit Sub Metering Providers (USMPs)
My Comment: The repeal of OEB authority will create a situation where there is not effective oversight and authorized means of control over the USMPs to prevent overcharging unaware residents. This does not seem to strike the correct balance between commercial and consumer protections.
