Mr. Speaker, the new day care program, introduced by Education, Culture and Employment, looks like it's a good step. Now, having taken that step, perhaps it is time to look at more early intervention programs and perhaps even head start program for preschoolers, especially those at risk.

Mr. Speaker, another area which I expect to see a focus on is social issues. This government has made an important step by adopting a policy of zero tolerance towards violence. Now, we are going to have to see some money in place of those words. I expect to see a detailed outline by this government, including financial commitments, in setting up a strategy for zero tolerance towards violence.

Secondly, I hope we will see a comprehensive update of the government's response, again showing money committed, to the report of the Special Committee on Health and Social Services. Mr. Speaker, as I said last spring, the initial response of this government, entitled "Renewed Partnerships," looked very good. I was encouraged. But now, it is time to replace the words with action.

I think there are two important things that have to happen if we're to have any chance of successfully dealing with the fiscal crunch and the demand for services that we face. The first is the government, the Cabinet, needs to make sure they are all singing from the same songbook. Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, there is no room for soloists and the days of the big bands are finished.
