Thank you, Madam Chair. Given also the prevalence of FAS and autism in our community, I wonder if it would be worthwhile to look at a dedicated facility or a care mechanism for parents and children that have the learning disabilities and they need the extra help. It could be a specialized venue where they would receive the care and support that's required. I think that's something the government should take a serious look at.

Madam Chair, you will hear me talk more later this week about a constituent who has a child with autism who is caught in the social quagmire that is the Department of Health and Social Services and Education, Culture and Employment, income support. She can't work. Looking after her son is a 24-hour job and Health and Social Services wanted to suggest she get an aid, which would cost in the neighbourhood of $3,000 a month to get an aid in, but she would have to leave the home with her other daughter. This is not a workable situation for her. She can't have that much to live on. She needs some help. You will hear me talk more about that later this week.

Again, I really think given FAS and autism, maybe it's time we looked at a dedicated centre and get the parents and children the help they need in one location so there is support there. Thank you, Madam Chair.
