Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Certainly, I don't think the program is a total failure, but it surely is on a life support system, at the moment. We witnessed the facility in Lutselk'e, we are seeing it in Smith and even in Yellowknife, Mr. Speaker. It's not only me who is speaking to this. It's all over the place. Everybody can see that this government has to do more for the day care program. Whatever came up from the federal government, that's just another issue we have to deal with. The Minister had an opportunity to deal with recommendations by the Status of Women Council, who did a report, which I filed last week, which suggested there needs to be more support. Why can this government bail out millions of dollars for diamond companies? Maybe the government can start giving guarantees to tele-care facilities. Would the Minister look into increasing the funding that we give to day care centres, immediately? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
