Tom Beaulieu Tu Nedhe

Thank you, M. Chairman. Just a couple of questions I have here. I notice that the early childhood development budget has gone up quite a bit, quite substantially, actually. I am

wondering if the Minister could advise me if there is any of the extra money going to support daycares in Tu Nedhe communities of Fort Resolution and Lutselk’e. I talk about the students and even the absenteeism and then I get information from the schools and I am aware that kids going through a good daycare program have better success early when they start school, better success K to 12, especially better success in the lower grades like K to 5 and so on. I am wondering if there is extra money to support the daycares. Extra money is badly needed in both of those communities. I will start off with that, Mr. Chairman.
