Thank you. And I hear the Member's comments. I guess I have to say that we have focused on licensed childcare spaces even through our own programs and sometimes we do have to pick a lane and stick with it, and I think that our efforts are focused on licensed childcare centres, and supporting people who are providing childcare in a community without a licensed centre but as if they were a licensed centre. So, you know, there are babysitters in communities where you drop your kids off but they aren't licensed. And so when we learn about that, we do do our best to help them become licensed, and we have funding to help them make the, you know, renovations that they need to make. So our efforts are focused on supporting licensed childcare centres and helping people become licensed. That being said, I completely understand the Member's comments and in a perfect world, yes, we would be able to do that, but that's not the direction that we're going. Thank you.
