Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Minister. We do typically call those individuals who are working either one-on-one with children or in small groups "student support assistants." They used to be called "classroom assistants," but we changed that name, tried to promote changing that name a while ago. We also have, as the Minister mentioned, program support teachers. Program support teachers are not assigned a full-time teaching schedule. What they are meant to do is to help all of the other classroom teachers in the school be able to develop the appropriate plans for children who need some kind of adopted or adapted plan, and they also act as a liaison between the parents and children with complex needs and different services that could be provided for them. Every education authority also has a regional inclusive schooling coordinator who, on behalf of the education authority, works to support those program support teachers as well as all the student support assistants. Thank you, Madam Chair.
