Thank you. If you are an organization looking to spend millions on early childhood infrastructure, we do not have any money in the budget for you. We have the $0.5 million infrastructure fund, and that is it. There is not really any other early childhood funding outside of this. However, we do have funding for junior kindergarten and kindergarten through the education budget, and so there are some other items that sort of support this. We also have to look at federal funding. The federal government does have some large pots of money that Indigenous governments can access and have been accessing in the territory to help provide childcare, as well, so there is more than just the GNWT. I know that it is being utilized throughout the territory. Thank you.
