Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, everyone. I think most of you know me. I am Daniel Vandal, the member for Saint-Boniface—Saint-Vital and this is my first term in office. I served as city councillor for a long time and hail from Louis Riel country, in Saint-Boniface. I hope we will have the opportunity to visit that site this afternoon.
First, congratulations on the work you do in your communities. It is very important work and I have a lot of respect for it. We held consultations last year about the new strategic plan that was announced, and the roadmap was one of the key issues for our communities. I commend you for your work.
In terms of early childhood, do you mean children up to the age of 7, 8, or 9?
