Thank you. The money was distributed to the day homes and childcare centres that ECE has contribution agreements with. It was not designed to provide support to situations like the Member is describing. In a perfect world, there would be enough childcare spaces with enough availability that no one would have to worry about it, but it was a unique situation. We put the resources we had in the places we thought it would help the most. Thank you.
