Mr. Chairman, I am optimistic as well that we will see closer cooperation. A lot of special needs teachers and special needs assistants need training in teaching speech. It is a common problem for children. Part of the speech pathologist's responsibilities with Health is to assist in the training of people who are going to work with children who have speech problems. There has to be that cooperation. We cannot send children to the clinic to be trained or to help with their speech problems. I hope that as we have this early childhood initiative develop over three years, we will see a lot of cooperation in areas where there may not have been as much as we would have liked in the past.
