That is dreadful. We will have to discuss that later. There is a specific piece of work when we are talking about early learning centres. A number of these centres probably have taken more children than others and are dealing with issues ranging from behaviour to other challenges. I agree with the Minister that there needs to be flexibility. It involves looking at how AIM involves the hours provided to it and after-school beyond that. We need to look at that piece in a holistic manner.
