Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services. Part of making early interventions effective for special needs children is providing a consistent program. In other jurisdictions, parents are given training which allows them to carry on when specialists are not available, something which is a common occurrence in our communities. For example, Saskatchewan has used, It Takes Two to Talk, a speech therapy training package for parents whose children are waiting for regular speech therapy. Does the department have a program of parent and/or community training in various treatments which would allow the treatment to continue after the departure of the specialist from the community? That's my question to the honourable Minister. Thank you.
