As I stated in my report, we're very fortunate in Alberta to have the support of our provincial government. With Alberta Children's Services, we have been continuing to work on our accreditation system and on securing quality within the existing programs. We have certainly talked to Alberta Children's Services and to our other government representatives, who are interested in what that $90 million would have meant to us. Whether or not that could have created any spaces, it would certainly help the recruitment and retention issue even further. Even though we do have salary enhancements currently in place, that additional $90 million could have meant a great deal to us.
