Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me be clear here. I'm not shutting down the day care. This particular day care has said that, in order to continue, they need extraordinary funding over and above what is provided through our program. I don't have that flexibility in the budget to do that. So if another operator can find a way to start up, we'll be happy to support that operator with the same sort of contributions that we have right now.
Mr. Speaker, I would dearly love to be able to improve this program. It's my goal, and has been for a long time, to improve the program. I had thought we had a willing partner in the federal government to help us with the money to do that. But we have been under a period of restraint since this Legislative Assembly started. The first year we came into operation, we had to cut millions of dollars from the budget. We just heard today, the Minister of Finance saying that we're going to have to review our budget again. In his statement, he's saying, already today, that we've got some pressures and we may have to be looking at cuts. So I don't have the level of flexibility that the Member seems to think that I have in terms of finding new money to put from one program into another. I have as a goal finding a way to improve this program, but I don't have the money right now.
