Ottawa is close enough to the Outaouais that child-care troubles on the Quebec side of the river ripple into daily life for families who live on one side and work or shop on the other. An Outaouais daycare provider is calling Quebec's new child-care registration portal a complete fiasco after spending the summer trying to fill subsidized spots as concerned parents continue to reach out.
The provider's account, reported by CBC News, describes ongoing frustration with the new system, though fuller details on exactly what is going wrong with the portal, and how many families or spots are affected, have not been independently confirmed yet.
