I would say that what we're asking for doesn't in fact cut into anyone else's needs or interests. I would say that it actually complements it. It has been shown, and we can go through some of the research—I'm afraid I don't have it memorized—that an investment in children and early learning, and a quality environment for these children, actually is an investment that benefits across the sector, as I said, through labour force attachment and through allowing women and parents to participate more actively in the economy and in these people's businesses. I would say that it doesn't cut into anyone else's interests by any means. It in fact contributes to and complements it.
