Mr. Speaker, my question is addressed to the Secretary of State for Children and Youth. I know that she is very knowledgeable about the issue of fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol effects. I also know she is aware that the Canadian Paediatric Society and Health Canada have issued a joint statement which states that the best decision for pregnant women is to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy.
Will the secretary of state advise the House as to exactly what her ministry is doing under the youth strategy program with regard to fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol effects?
