Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to the tabling of those letters. The one, particularly, from the college, I think, outlines that they are interested in working to see day care in the North and in Fort Smith. If you take a look at what the letters say, it's basically, well, it's unfortunate that you've had to follow this path, but the program offers a certain level of support. This government doesn't bail everybody out, in spite of what the opinions might be, and maybe we should. It would be nice to be able to do that sort of thing, but right now, we're in a situation where we have a program, the money is set out in that program, and we have to expect that operators will live within it. Do we help them? Yes. We'll have staff go out to the centre. The staff have been available to help in Fort Smith, just as they are in other communities, to provide advice and support. But I think it's not fair to pretend that that isn't happening, because it does happen all across the North, Mr. Speaker.
