I don’t like the idea of denying access to people for the sole reason they’re refugees. To avoid that, the federal really need to improve its support. It can not bring so many people and let the system crumble under the weight.
> In Quebec City on Thursday, Family Minister Suzanne Roy said the Court of Appeal ruling opened the door to about 7,000 daycare-aged children of asylum seekers who would require the equivalent of **88 subsidized daycare centres to place them**. On the X platform, Roy said those spots would cost **$300 million in infrastructure investments, $120 million in subsidies and an additional 900 early childhood educators.**
Where are we going to find that? Québec’s budget is already in deficit.

The daycare system in Quebec is designed to allow parents with small children to be able to pursue their career and parenthood at the same time.
Many refugees do not yet have a work permit and it would go against the spirit of the system to allows non-working parents to take advantage of the daycare system, that is unless they are currently following a full time training class or a language class.
But what has been demanded is access without the condition of working or studying.
