In my general comments to the department yesterday, I talked about the importance of early childhood development, and development is what we’re really discussing here and the critical years are zero to two, zero to three, and I think that a lot of Members thought that this department should have been the head lead on early childhood development and looking at that. Committee was supportive. Once again, as mentioned, we did try to bring in a motion for, I think, $1.2 million for early childhood initiatives which was also defeated. But I think we’ll put that on the agenda for standing committee and we’ll try to get some correspondence to move on that.

The next one is in terms of the Disabilities Fund. Sometimes it seems that our organizations that work with people with disabilities tends to get overlooked when we’re also dealing with a whole bunch of other issues. I look at the amount of funding that goes into the Disabilities Fund and there hasn’t really been a big increase in this area. I just wanted to know if the Minister, as my questions to the Premier last week in terms of the Third-Party

Accountability Framework, whether or not forced growth is looked into working with our organizations that do work on behalf of government such as the Persons with Disabilities Council and also an update on that action plan. Can the Minister provide maybe an update on the action plan that was, I guess, tabled in 2008, and also whether or not forced growth is given to these organizations such as the NWT council?
