Take your funding budget, take the amount of eligible kids. That's how much each kid should get. If its not enough, scale it to income.
There is still a a massive preferential treatment to high income families. Generally if you know someone or the older kid is in, you get bumped to the front of the line. So getting into the system before the federal grants came in is an absolutely huge bonus which directly correlates with income.
And what happens if the workers want a raise? You just scale back how many spots are subsidized? Just crank the odds of the lottery a little higher. Hopefully rent and insurance doesn't go up at all.
Eby seems like a wounded animal right now. Make a coherent argument about why the system needs to be redesigned. Trudeau is gone now so there should be more flexibility. If the federal plan isn't modified its going to become tainted across the whole country. I guarantee anyone with kids knows a high income family with several kids getting full discounts at high end daycares and they also know low income families on a year long wait list to get into the converted Nail Salon.
