That's absolutely true. We believe in the education continuum principle. Day care centres are essential to the survival and development of francophone schools. In a way, day care centres are the nurseries of our schools. Minority communities absolutely must have French-language child care services to prepare their children and enable them to develop language skills so they're ready to enter our schools. We're losing students and families because we lack day care centres. So that has a major impact on our system.
