Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Family Visitor Program is part of the early childhood development initiative, and that is going to combine some of the early childhood money with the continuing care money. We are looking at expanding the skills of people doing home visits. We are going to incorporate a lot of the work done through the Hawaiian model, which brings together services at the community level, so you have the social workers, the family visitors, the public health people and the educators working as a unit to identify families at risk, mothers at risk with their unborn children and work with them to provide the support they need in a concrete and hands-on way, to ensure that fundamentally, first and foremost, that the child is born healthy. Thank you.
