I've spoken with many families that have children in these situations. I gather that the situation hasn't improved. They have a major issue with access to services. Many families turn to the private sector or head to Quebec. Families living in areas such as northern Ontario come to Ottawa because there are more resources. It's very difficult to access these resources in their areas. Many families turn to highly specialized services. In Ottawa, the Consortium Centre Jules‑Léger is for children with severe learning disabilities. It can accommodate only 40 students, so the admission process is quite extensive. Not all children who need these services can access them. There's still an issue with access to services.
