Changes in education in Ontario

Dalton McGuinty has announced that new legislation will be tabled at Queen's Park, mandating that Ontario's students must remain in school until the age of 18. This is all well and good - but I graduated from Grade 13 (yes, I'm that old) when I was 17.
How will this be "workable?" How much money, how many person-hours will be spent chasing down 17 year olds who do not want to attend school? At whose expense? How does this address home-schoolers and non-traditional learners?
