Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, I guess what I got from that is that the department, not hypothetically, what would happen. I guess I was asking what were the department's plans. Has the department planned and has it come up with a plan, but I am not going to get an answer to that, so I will drop that. We won't know unless it is defeated, and we will see what rolls out, hypothetically. So, my other question is the Minister has promised to fund this initiative at 12 to 1, a pupil-teacher ratio of 12 to 1, and I think, if you look in the schedule of the Child Daycare Act regulations, if a daycare has four-year-olds in it, it needs to be staffed at 9 to 1. I know that is age zero to four, but, if a daycare only has four-year-olds in it, it is still 9 to 1, I believe, and I could be wrong. So why is a classroom with four-year-olds only to be staffed at 12 to 1? Why is there a lower threshold than a daycare or day home? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
