Sure, and I thank the Member for her support. I agree; if we want to make a difference in the long-term future of the territory, this is the place to invest the money. Jurisdictions that have universal childcare programs, they see returns on their investment. I think Quebec sees probably a $6 return, or something, for every dollar they spend. Don't quote me on that, but I think it's in the neighbourhood. I agree. I'll just leave it at that. I appreciate the Member's support, and I share some of her concerns, as well. Thank you.
