I appreciate the answer. When I raised the concern, the major concern of daycares was that they were not funded on a per student basis in the way that we fund our schools but they were funded basically according to the formula that Mr. Daniels just explained. Their very real concern was when a child was not present in the daycare, they didn’t get funding. It had several ramifications. They have to keep fairly onerous notes and attendance records and submit them in order to get their funding, and the other problem is they don’t know from one week or one month to the next what their funding is going to be. So I’d like to know from the Minister, at the time that I raised the issue I understood that he was going to perhaps look at funding daycares on a per student or per client basis similar to the way we fund schools. Was that looked at and what were the results if it was looked at?
