Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have heard in this House recently in consideration of the budget that this government expends an extraordinary amount of money when children are taken out of their homes and placed in institutions or placed in other people's homes.
I am just wondering if it is possible to expand the support for these families through services that might be available through existing institutions. I know a parent of a disabled child had to take a child to the hospital, for example, in order just to attend a meeting that we were having. We do have these institutions and infrastructure in many of the communities where they may not be at full capacity, where there are staff and facilities available. Is it possible to expand the role of any of these institutions to offer things like respite or temporary care of children with needs? Thank you.
