I know parents will be relieved by this order. But the suggestion to go get federal $$ to keep centres liquid is not going to cut it if we want childcare to be available when parents can go back to work. #cdnpoli #cdnecon https://twitter.com/CityCynthia/status/1248681364284747776">https://twitter.com/CityCynth...
I presume the province will eat the costs for centres/programs run by municipalities. Will non-profit centres be able to get Canada Emergency Business Account loans from mainstream banks or will banks prefer to lend to for-profit clients?
I& #39;m not sure that QC& #39;s musing about reopening centres soon because "kids don& #39;t get the virus" is terribly helpful either.
But if the supply of childcare drops (centres unable to meet rent, lost staff so can& #39;t meet staff-kid ratios, ++), many fewer parents will be able to return to work and it& #39;ll be the moms that take the worst of the economic hit.
