Thank you, Madam Chair. To my knowledge, we don't have that figure. In all honesty, Madam Chair, that would be a hard figure to actually get because of the underground childcare provisions that are being provided in communities. People often don't see, when they bring their children to their grandmother's, often they wouldn't count that as "I need childcare," because grandma's looking after the baby. It's kind of like counting the number of homeless people. It is difficult to assess that, so currently we don't have those figures, but we do know that, in Yellowknife alone, we have wait lists on daycares. We have those numbers that the NGOs or the applicable daycares are providing us, and I believe them that we have wait lists. Thank you, Madam Chair.
