I had the great pleasure of announcing some 16 innovation projects last year. For a number of them, I had the opportunity to visit the sites.

One program that I think stands out a lot is the GRIT program in Alberta. It really plays a leading role in the inclusion of developmentally delayed children with disabilities. The people in the GRIT program are now doing research work based on what they have learned and looking at ways to bring that to the whole country.

Projects like this, which target groups of children who may be more vulnerable or excluded, are innovative. We're trying to find ways to disseminate the information we've gathered and the lessons learned across the country.

There are many really interesting initiatives.
