Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to indicate to the honourable Member that one of the concerns we have had, or at least I have had, with regard to this particular policy, is the lack of access by communities across the Northwest Territories or, for that matter, individual parents. I have asked the department to review the policies to ensure far more access than what has been the case to date.
I can indicate, as well, that I have written a letter to the Status of Women Council to meet with them to discuss the idea of making some changes in the policy and to seek their advice. I have not, to date, considered a public process other than to meet with that particular group.
I also want to indicate to the honourable Member that I will be listening to the advice of the Special Committee on Health and Social Services in this particular area or any Member who may have advice which they wish to give on improving the ability of this government to allow parents and families to access day care funding more easily.
