Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A very important area, Mr. Speaker, and the department did a student needs survey two years ago, as I mentioned earlier. There were a number of elements in that report that contributed to the success of students. It was school counselling, et cetera, but one of the areas was parental support and parental assistance. They identified this as an issue. The department is in the process of designing workshops that would involve parents more in programs. One that has been designed is called Nobody's Perfect. It is a situation to allow parents to become more familiar with the school, bring them into the school and become comfortable with the school system. There needs to be a partnership between the parents, the school and the students.

Additionally, we have worked on the Early Childhood Development Plan, whereby we are working with parents to come in with children when they are very young, into areas like language nests and into resource centres. Thank you.
