Thank you. That's an excellent question.
Yes, there are a couple of things preventing it.
First, there is our lack of staff. We know there are a great number of registered early childhood educators in Ontario, where we have the College of ECEs, but they have left the sector. They would welcome returning if compensation were appropriate and reasonable.
The other big reason that not-for-profits would be hesitant right now, or not able to expand, is exactly what Maggie said. Being able to borrow money as a not-for-profit in order to create a centre is complicated. As I said, Andrew Fleck has been around for a long time, and we still find it very complicated, which is why I was urging the federal government to look at a loan opportunity or some supports for not-for-profits. It's because we're ready to expand.
