Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Often in my communities that’s what the providers also talk about — that they’ve got no control over the level of funding that they receive. Small operations in small communities depend on consistent revenue, I guess you would call it. We are providing the basis for funding them. I was thinking that we’re not really asking for more for the providers; we’re asking for consistent funding. You’re able to do that if you’re able to average it over six months or a year or whatever example or method the government would choose, should they choose to listen to us on this motion. So with that, I will be supporting this motion, to create that stability in the communities and for all our child care providers out there as well.
