Section 73.5 Disposition versions

2003-12-18

73.5. A representative association is an association consisting solely of home childcare providers and comprising at least 350 members or an alliance whose membership includes associations that consist solely of home childcare providers and, together, represent at least 350 home childcare providers.

The same applies to an association of childcare centre permit holders that has at least 150 members, and an alliance of associations of childcare centre permit holders whose member associations, together, represent at least 150 childcare centre permit holders.

A representative association must provide the Minister, on request, with up-to-date documents establishing its constitution, and the name and address of each of its members and, in the case of an association representative of home childcare providers, the name of the childcare centre permit holder having recognized each home childcare provider.

An alliance must also provide up-to-date documents establishing its constitution, the names and addresses of its member associations of home childcare providers or childcare centre permit holders, the names and addresses of the members of each association and, in the case of associations of home childcare providers, the name of the childcare centre permit holders having recognized each home childcare provider.

Where a representative association is an alliance of associations, the representative association alone is authorized to represent each of the member associations.

For the purposes of section 73.3, a home childcare provider may not be a member of more than one representative association other than an alliance. The same applies to childcare centre permit holders.
