Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The term has been used, and Mr. Dent referred to it in the report earlier from the Standing Committee on Social Programs, that a dollar investment at an early age can save seven dollars later on. It is very true.
We have to take that into consideration when we say, can we invest more up front? Whether we can find the resources to be able to do that becomes the question. We know it will pay off down the road.
We are looking at a continuum system, early childhood from birth to old age, practically. Now we are in a process of filling in the holes. I do not know whether we can call them holes, but certainly areas that we can refine. We have an Early Childhood Program that takes care of birth to age 4, 5, 6. We need to take care of the 4, 5, 6 in the K-12 program. We are making refinements from K-12. Then transition to work or transition to university, et cetera, or higher education, and even those who are not in the system with adult education, Mr. Chairman. Early childhood can do tremendous things for us, no question.
