Thank you, Madam Chair.
I really want to thank all of our witnesses today. It's so important that we hear what you have to say. I have a lot of scribbles from the various comments that so many of you made. I'm going to try to make sure I get around to all of you.
The first place I'd really like to start is near and dear to me. We won't have the full seven minutes. I was a school trustee before I became a member of Parliament. It was something I took such pride in, because that is where we can make a difference.
A number of you have spoken of the need to engage children when they are young and help them mould.... If the family model isn't there for them, I think it was Ms. Wells who said that school is the second best thing. It's a valuable tool to use.
How do you see this engagement happening? We certainly did a lot of it when I was in my school division.
