Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, certainly I am hearing the words of Members this week. I am hearing the words of parents. And I am hearing the words of childcare providers as well. So what I can say, Mr. Speaker, is this conversation really revolves around the regulations. The regulations were set through extensive feedback from operators. And some examples -- well, I won't get into examples of some of those things that ended up in there. What I will say, though, is that there is a commitment to review the regulations after the first year. I understand from the Members that is...

It was done in 2023 and a pretty remarkable experience for these youths. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the plan includes not just, you know, one avenue or one item.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, the Aurora College mandate -- well, I believe, has now gone out. I believe it's all in our in-boxes. Thank you very much. And so that mandate agreement commits Aurora College to 2027.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have heard from the YK Daycare Association, and I'm very happy to meet with them. I'm very happy to meet with any organization that would like to sit down, and they also have constant access as well to ECE, to their early childhood coordinators, and I know that the director of early childhood and learning has also met with people. Thank you.

Thanks very much, Mr. Chair. So that funding would be found in the education section because it will be delivered to the education bodies through contribution agreement. So we have received that funding now from the Government of Canada, and we are in the process of putting together each of those contribution agreements with our education bodies to ensure that those dollars flow out the door as quickly as possible. I also think it's worth noting here that there is 100 percent carryover with those dollars between this year and next year knowing that we are so close to the end of the fiscal year...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, the -- sorry, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

So if the Member is looking for information on the clinicians, that would be with health and social services, and then in regards to staffing from the ECE side, we have a number of positions. We have a regional mental wellness coordinator. And then in Fort Providence, we also have a mental wellness student support worker and an Indigenous health and wellness worker. And then in Kakisa, we have staffing in progress for an Indigenous health and wellness elder. And, sorry, just...
