Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Back in February, I had asked a number of questions to the Minister of ECE in regards to day care spaces and inequities that exist amongst day care providers. Mr. Speaker, as I pointed out in my Member's statement, the government spends roughly $32 million a year on corrections and just under $5 million on early childhood development. This is a ratio or something that just shouldn't be allowed to happen. I would say that if we tried to get those numbers a little bit closer in the next 20 years, we wouldn't be spending as much in the area of corrections, Mr. Speaker. What exactly has the Minister's department done since February in regard to addressing the inequities that exist amongst day care providers? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
