Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. I would now like to ask the Minister responsible for the bill if he would like to bring witnesses into the House.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is also for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. It’s regarding my Member’s statement earlier today. I’m wondering if funding to daycares...Well, we know it fluctuates quarterly in unpredictable ways. I’d like to know what we are doing to stabilize that funding and make it more predictable for daycares so they can provide consistent service.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Krutko, I’d like to remind you that we need to stay on topic here. This is straying quite a ways from this topic. We’re looking for approval for fairly specific dollars here. There is another floor for that. I’ll give the Minister an opportunity to respond. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. The motion is on the floor. It is not debatable.
