Good morning, Speaker. I have to 100% agree with the member opposite about his recollection of Jane’s story, and I appreciate him sharing that today. That’s an important leader who continues to lead among us.
I know a little bit about the background about the member opposite as a professional teacher and librarian. We have these professionals, like teachers, physicians, social workers; they’re relied on to add to the protection of children, and they have a duty to report if they ever suspect that there’s harm by a caregiver or by a parent. Bill 188 proposes expanding that professional outreach to include early child educators.
Would the member opposite support having early child educators added to this wraparound support, to take care of the interests of our young people?
