Another area that seems to have many long-term benefits and it’s kind of the area that today in my Member’s statement I talked a little bit about which is in the review of the Child and Family Services Act. It’s not just that. It’s the overall prevention in the area of health. Again, the addictions, apprehensions, the whole thing seems to have real long-term benefits. This is an area where I’d like to see the department step up more in the prevention. I’m talking about starting at a very low-grade level in the schools, promoting some good, healthy habits in the schools and so on. I think that’s essential and I believe that if all the departments are working together and we’re trying to get kids into preschool, kids into daycare, working with the Department of Education and that being two real key areas where you get the students started off on the right foot and get them into daycare and into preschool, it gives them a little bit of an advantage in kindergarten that the things they gain from that when they get into kindergarten are something that they retain always. They’re always up to speed at their grade levels as they go through school.

I think prevention going in, health professionals going in and talking to kids and so on and spending the money that it takes to bring in people, models and so on from even other jurisdictions or other communities to talk to kids and talk about the benefits of healthy living, I think that’s something the department should also do. I guess I’d just like

to ask the Minister if they would look at that at this time again.
