Thank you. I can assure the Member that this is part of the conversation. I have had those conversations, if we look at creating more, using perhaps some of the spaces available in some government infrastructure buildings, like schools. A lot of schools are under-capacity, and they have a lot of room. Perhaps some spaces like that could be repurposed for childcare. So, if there is a childcare centre in the school and there are adults in the school, perhaps that ratio is something that can be looked at. In terms of after-school care, if you have all of the adults who would be assisting a classroom, you know, the principal could come in, other teachers could come in, support assistants could come into a classroom. If they are all gone, then that ratio becomes more important because, if there are only the employees of the after-school program and no other adults in the vicinity who could come in to help out, that becomes a concern. Thank you.
