Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't believe that I told Mrs. Groenewegen that I wanted all-day kindergarten funded. I think if you want to check the record though, the Standing Committee on Social Programs brought forward a recommendation to this House, which was voted on and passed by this House, that the government funds all-day kindergarten. So there has been a motion passed. It was presented by the Standing Committee on Social Programs. At this point, there hasn't been a motion passed on this recommendation on remand, so I'm in a position where the Member is asking me to accept that all 11 Members have taken this position. If the recommendation is brought forward as a motion and if that motion is passed, then I can assure the Member that the FMB will consider the request. But until that motion is dealt with, I can't make that promise.
