Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on Saturday I met with the NWT Literacy Council, and I'll certainly be happy to go back to them and discuss how we're spending our funding in literacy. If they feel that there are areas that we can redirect funding that is now being spent on literacy into childcare, I'd be the first one prepared to do that. Mr. Speaker, I agree that we should get more money into childcare, and I think that what we need to do is make sure that we, in the North, have the same opportunities that they have in other jurisdictions in Canada right now, where they've already got that money from Minister Dryden and they're already spending it. It should be coming to us so that we can give it to people in the North, as well.
