I agree with you. Yes, under the age of 12, unfortunately, we have to bring them to their respective parents or anyone else whose authority they are under.
I touched on first nations, for example, with the sixties scoop. Nobody really knew the implications or the issues relative to FASD or what the effects were going to be, then or now or in the future.
One of the biggest things that needs to happen is to have prevention programs at the outset. They have be there. Yes, there are some out there, but are we really heightening them? Perhaps not.
I thank the parent who spoke earlier as well. I think that data collection is crucial. Perhaps early diagnosis would be of crucial importance too, because that would factor into exactly what we're talking about here. I touched on it. I've had people whom I deal with who have FASD, and it's very difficult. Everybody is different, and they have different ways of dealing with it. At the same time, with some of them you have to repeat yourself 20 times before they even comprehend what you're trying to say. It has to be dealt with in a different way.
Those are some of the recommendations I would like to make.
Thank you, sir.
