Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, the wage gap does not have a ceiling. So it sets the minimum hourly; it does not set the maximum. What it does do, however, or what the whole program does do, is it stipulates what parents can charge to families, and so that's where we're running into an issue here. It also stipulates, as we explored yesterday, that parents can't charge, you know, like, a membership fee, for example, because that fee would then have to be deducted from the fee that parents are charged. So what can we do?
There is, you know, always the nuclear option which is removing ourselves from the program, but that would come at a huge cost to families in the Northwest Territories. Right now, the contributions from the territorial government are $13.3 million annually and from the federal government are $20.5 million annually. Thank you.
