Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is an issue that has been ongoing for some time in a number of communities, and specifically in mine as well, when I know that, for example, parents would go to the school and request a speech therapist because they've been told that their children need that help and the schools would say sorry, we don't have funding for that, go to the Department of Health and Social Services, and there seems to be little collaboration between the two. So will there be some directive or initiative sent down, not only at headquarters -- and I think that's where it needs to start -- but will there be a collaborative approach to try and deal with this situation? Thank you.
