Under Early Childhood programs, I see there’s little bump-up there — cost of living or
whatever. We’ve got a sterling record of losing our child care centres, certainly in Yellowknife. I know there are big struggles in the small communities. The general feedback I get from organizations and individuals that try and operate these facilities is that they need 100 per cent funding for the first two years, while they get sign-up and so on — get operating.
Could the Minister tell me how many child care centres and family day-homes are being supported and whether there’s any increase to the support for those, recognizing that we’ve been losing them and they need some attention?
