One of the things I see in my area--and I'm sure other MPs do too--is people coming into my office who have children now in their early twenties who have issues; maybe it is Down's syndrome, maybe it is CP or something else. They went to high school and were part of the team of kids who actually graduated. They were mainstreamed into high school. And they feel great. They go to the graduation. All the other kids love the fact that they've been able to help them graduate. It's good for them; it's good for the other kids. And then they fall off a cliff. The other kids go on to university, to community college, or to jobs. For these kids, there's nothing.
When you talk about spaces, in my own area of Halifax, you're talking about hundreds of kids for four, five, or six spaces. There's a program that has 20 spaces or so. So absolutely, we need to provide training for those people.
And their parents are going to bed every night wondering what happens when they leave this earth, with these kids. We don't seem to provide them with a living income.
So I certainly agree with you, Kelly. We have to provide more opportunities for kids like that, for adults like that to get training.
