Mr. Speaker, this is something parents around the country, who have autistic children, deal with on a day to day basis, including members of our caucus.
This is why the government acted. We did something last year that no other federal government has done. We invested $1 million in a brand new chair of autism research. We hosted a national research symposium, working with our provincial and territorial partners to share best practices, improve knowledge and research.
We are doing concrete things in our sphere of jurisdiction to help the lives of autistic children and their parents.
