Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Added incentives, kind of like a bonus plan. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I understand that the federal government is also looking at FAS/FAE and taking a larger interest in this problem and, last year I think it was, well rather than mentioning a specific region, I recall that some specialists had done some testing in that area and they had found that numbers as startlingly high as 40 percent of the children in some communities had FAS or FAE. I am assuming that this will also be categorized as special needs. Does the Minister have any indication what type of assistance may be available from the federal government, whether it is to a new initiative or from Ms. Blondin's youth portfolio that we may be able to tap into for the FAS/FAE portion of the special needs children? Thank you.
