Your mmnister, Zanana Mkande, bas announced a program tu provide a downpayment" on pay equity for seected day cars worbcers, by erovding a $2,000 grant in 1991. Ths wiil b. paid only to day carse workers i non.-profit and government-run centre. The day cars Workers in commercial centres, whose qualifications, experienice and attitudes are at the saine high bevel as non-profit workers, will have to, do 'withiQut. Why do you treat commercial day cars workers as inferior people? And how much more do you plan to give in this discriminatory faghion in 1992 and beyond? Tis is not fair. Zananasslution to this is for the commercial operators to match the grant by taking it out of their "profit." Where has she been? Is9she Eo incompetent that she doe not realize that commercial operators in Ontario have already dug deep Into their- pockets to match the direct operating grants th#a n r provided to non-profit centres at double. the rate provded to commercial centres? Boc, there is no profit beft to give, because the coenmerical oerators anreaeady subsdizing thie direct oj*eating grants with what littie profit" there used to be. As a result, this policy wil cause the closngof vrtuay ail commercial day cares, with the resultant oas of 8,000 jobs. In addition, 40,000 child cars saes will disappear at the samel tins. And ail commercial operators wil boss whatever faith they may bave had ini governient. Your govmrment wiil then be faced with2sending hundreds of milions o dollars of the taxpayers money to replace these opae as non-profit. Bob if you go ahead with this, I hope that you are prepared to talce- the heat fr-om the unemiployed dycar. woekers, the parents ofth 40,000 cifidren who have nowhere to gm~ and the taxpayers of Ontario Who wvill DE PENDABLE HOME DAY CARE FOR CIIILDREN 6 WEEKS & OLDER.

Private operators say this is not the first time that the com- mercial day cars business has been put down. Th.y- say . soins child cRS courses have a clear hias against the profitday cars, industry.
