Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am unaware of any such program outside of the parameters of the existing early childhood contribution program. I am aware that, in Yellowknife not too long ago, a day care did find itself in financial difficulty and departmental staff were willing to work with parents to assist them to find ways to manage to save the day care and keep it in operation. I do not believe they found any extra funds for them. I think I can advise the Member that department staff are willing and interested in helping parents to preserve a day care that is in trouble. But, as everyone knows, we are relatively short of funds to make special contributions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
