Madam Speaker, in terms of special areas of needs and also conditions, we try to make sure the community is informed about the various areas of health care that is available to them. I know certainly if you read the statistics and number of people who access health care centres and are referred, when a person is of age, I would assume we do expect that individual to make more decisions for themselves and access the services we have in those communities.

For example, in terms of the community health representatives in many of our communities, one of their functions is to work in the preventative health care area where people have knowledge. For example, for a child who is nursing from a bottle, there is a great deal of effort to make parents more aware of not having their children sucking on a bottle that has a degree of sugar, in feeding that child. The awareness part of the community delivery system is very important.

I know the nurses who are in the community try very hard to make sure as much of their time can be spent in the schools, with the cooperation of the schools. I know there are posters put up in the schools to try to bring awareness of certain things like AIDS or fetal alcohol syndrome. All these types of things are bringing knowledge to people so they, in turn, can begin their process of trying to link up with the services that are available, whether they're available in the community or at a larger regional centre or elsewhere. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
