Thank you, and I appreciate the Member's comments. While it would be great to offer everyone free or heavily subsidized childcare, perhaps the money could be better spent in a more focused approach. I know the federal government has announced quite a bit of money for training, and perhaps that's an opportunity to expand some of our early learning training programs at the college and create some sort of partnerships whereby we can use that to add additional childcare. There is nothing solid in place right now, though; I can confirm that. This is a very fast-moving file, and it seems to have picked up speed recently. While there is nothing right now, who knows what the future holds. Thank you.
