Thank you to my colleague across for your remarks. I was taken aback by the story that you told about your family and your father particularly. What an awesome man to raise six kids and provide and take on all those roles. And what a great community you must have had around you. I’m so glad that you are now here, sitting as a member of provincial Parliament. What a success story that says for Ontario, for our province.

One of the things that this act is trying to change is, right now, while you were able to tell your story, a lot of the children that are in care—under the current wording of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act—aren’t able to tell their stories. We, on our side—and certainly I—believe that they should be able to tell the stories of what they experienced and what it was like for them growing up and growing up in care.

Does the member agree this is a good, positive change that members of the House should be voting for?
