Thanks for the explanation. I did have a question under children services as well. Maybe it’s not so much a question as a comment. I look at these numbers and we spend almost $7.7 million on foster care and about $3.6 million on residential care, yet we spend $858,000 on intervention and protective services. I guess that’s apprehensions. If we look at the paragraph below we spend some $900,000 on prevention and promotion. It seems to me that we’ve got these numbers in the wrong place. I know it costs money to put children into foster care but it goes to the recommendations from the Child and Family Services Act review, it goes to statements that have been made by Members more often than not in this House and on this side of the House.

Prevention is paramount. If we can put programs in place, if we can work on prevention, if we can work on creating healthy children at an early age from zero to six it’s going to reap huge rewards as we go down the line. In terms of foster care, if we can put in place the recommendations that are in the Child and Family Services Act review we will not need to put children in foster care and that $7.7 million amount is going to be reduced significantly. I know it’s going to take time, but again we need to be putting more money into prevention, into dealing with children at a really early age. I don’t see that in here and it dismays me.
