I'm very excited about the national child care program. There are so many opportunities associated with national child care programs.
With regard to hearing loss, the universal hearing screening programs across the country are the most important thing because for a lot of hearing loss, babies are born with it. I think that's really important. There are also hearing losses associated with otitis media, which are very common in the indigenous population, for example, so having screening in preschools is very important. Then there's the opportunity to provide early interventions through preschools to children, families and so on. I think it's a very important opportunity that we should take advantage of.
My daughter has autism. She's 33 now, but when she was really young, we were receiving her services in the day care for a while and it was marvellous. They were very good. Then, for some reason, the Government of Alberta decided that wasn't a good thing to do and just withdrew the services. It was quite devastating. I really look forward to the possibilities.
