Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The role and responsibilities of the superintendent of child welfare are varied and are quite significant. I think the person and delegates of that person need to be available to offer advice, whether it be in terms of case management or of advice related to preparations when a matter is heading for court. The person is able to offer advice in terms of dispute resolution, whether it be between various types of caregivers or caregivers and parents. The superintendent needs to make judgement on compliance with both legislation regulation and policy. The superintendent needs to be able to assess and take action where training is deemed necessary so that the people working in each of the boards can perform their responsibilities confidently. Thank you.
