Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question has been asked before, am I willing to continue to champion the need for funding for special needs? I think there is a need for championing and continuing that role, which I feel I have played for the last two years, hopefully fairly well.

In order to continue to improve the resources available to schools and school systems and put it into a permanent place and continue to improve, I think it is okay to introduce programs. It is important to start them, get them going but then start to refine these programs. Like our student needs assistants in the classrooms, we need to move forward again with that. We have introduced it and we need to move on and refine it and improve it. Thank you.
