Mahsi, Mr. Chair. I would like to highlight two issues. One is early childhood development, 2 of 9. Again, when we toured the community, this was one of the high profile discussions in the community, early childhood, and also the Head Start Program because it all falls under this new Early Learning and Child Care Agreement that's been in place with the Government of Canada. It says one-time money is available through ELCC trust fund through the Government of Canada. Is there a plan or strategy in place by the department of ECE to continue negotiating or meeting with government officials to continue the flowing of this important funding to the North, especially going out to the small, isolated communities where it's heavily depended on with respect to child development? Mahsi, Chair.
