Jobs are important, but they are only part of what we need to achieve our vision. We must address the needs of our most vulnerable citizens -- children, elders, those with disabilities and those who are disadvantaged. We recognize that a vibrant economy and job opportunities are of little value unless we address the problems faced by many people -- drug and alcohol abuse, family violence, FAE/FAS, and various other addictions. I want to emphasize some of our government's main priorities.
