We certainly wouldn't be looking to increase fees for that age group, because we don't feel that families could manage an additional fee. Those fees are already, relatively speaking now in comparison with CWELCC fees, quite high, but there will be a need to look at other ways to help those families to manage their costs, because as the CWELCC reduces fees for the under-six age group, it does become a bit glaring in terms of the fees that parents with older children pay for before- and after-school care. Certainly we wouldn't want to increase that burden on families. We would really be looking to the government to work with us to help families manage those costs.
