Mr. Speaker, I have many questions to ask the member, but first I will respond to his last statement. I think all of us are greatly concerned about the fact that children are born suffering from the consequences of having mothers who drank while pregnant. That can result in brain damage which a youngster has to live with for all of his or her life.
My question to the member is, since there is a line item in the budget to support native young people or children who suffer from this, and I presume the money is going to be used for education, exactly how will the money be used and accounted for? What proof will we have that it is effective? What measurements will the government actually put in place to confirm that there is some real action taking place on this very important issue? I know it is an issue dear to his heart.
