Well, I certainly think there is a role for the federal government in a strategy for early learning, but I also think it's critical to contextualize it according to community.
One challenge you have in establishing early learning programs is that if the children are not integrated with the larger learning community, then sometimes you can actually widen the gap inadvertently through a well-meaning strategy.
For instance, in Alberta we often have children who are funded with program unit funding, and so they're identified with sometimes very minor needs related to speech or other types of activities. Those children are amalgamated in many cases into one early learning setting, so that you have students who are struggling with language all together in one place.
The wisdom of that is questionable. Perhaps we need to do a better job of how we roll out this program. While I think it's very important, and I think many provinces would be in alignment with what you're doing in New Brunswick, I think we also need to have room to contextualize it.
