Thank you for that.
As Ms. Ross indicated from the Vancouver conference we were both at, because we don't know the numbers, I suspect we're probably projecting them to be a bit higher than we anticipate .
The ultimate issue, then, is going to be—and I guess I'm posing it broadly to everybody here, if you could touch on a complex question quickly—that we have to seize ourselves with the role that Canada plays. That's why we're all here. Of course, there are provincial responsibilities, provincial jurisdictions. Some of those really do deal with the earliest onset issues—prevention, health, education—and, of course, “Jacob's Story” talked about our having all of our children captured in one location in the education institution, but those are provincial and territorial responsibilities.
What do you advise this committee recommend to the federal government as the role it can play respecting some of the complexities and jurisdictional issues around those social support networks, education, and health fronts that do belong in the provinces' hands? How can Canada lead that discussion, or at least what recommendations can you make so that we can step forward on this file so we don't lose the ground we've gained here?
