Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. I wanted to get back to my Member's statement and the issue is autism. As I mentioned, the diagnosis on an autistic child usually takes place around the age of two. Mr. Speaker, the change to a daily routine for an autistic child is something that just throws them for a loop, it causes them a great deal of trouble and they are completely out of their element when you add changes. So a weekly visit to a speech therapist in a taxi cab is quite a chaotic event for some parents who have to take their children there. I'm wondering if the Minister could let the House know today what services are currently available for parents with preschool autistic children between the age of two and four. Thank you.
