Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Member asked whether the department would be forwarding any specific initiatives with respect to early childhood development next year. I would have to say that any initiatives that we put forward in the business plan will be quite modest, because we did not get the expected federal funding for early childhood development announced in the last federal budget. There was a commitment in the last federal budget to develop a new national children's program by December 2000, collaboratively with the provinces and territories.
So we are very actively participating in that program development with our provincial and federal colleagues, but new funding for any early childhood initiative is not there at this point. So, anything we would do this year would need to come from internal resources. Obviously that would be a real challenge, to try to do anything significant this year. Thank you.
