I’m quite pleased to hear that autism and programs in the North for autistic children will be on the transition document going into the 17
Assembly. What I was asking is that
the Minister is going to be the Minister for the next couple of months, regardless of the election. There’s a great opportunity for the Minister to direct his staff to start doing some research into the alternate programs that exist in southern Canada. Every jurisdiction in this country offers programming for autistic children except the Northwest Territories. I’m asking that he in the interim have his department start doing the research and pulling together some facts and information and preparing some quality analysis of what’s out there so that we or the future 17
Assembly can make some
informed decisions on autism programming here in the Northwest Territories.
