Thank you very much. I have several questions, but I would like my first question to go to you, Ms. Glassco. You spoke specifically about gender and about the particular discrimination against girls with disabilities. One of the things you mentioned was the higher proportion of these girls who face gender-based violence and early and forced marriage. I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit on the differences in gender, and specifically whether it is also important to have not just education for these girls, or for gender non-conforming individuals, but also sexual health education.

Thank you very much for that. My next question is for Ms. Delorme. One of the things you mentioned that struck me was about early learning. When we talk about education, we usually think about grade school. We are not necessarily looking at preschool or early learning. I wonder if you could elaborate on that.

Okay. We have one minute to talk about something that you and others have also mentioned, which is the stigma. It's one thing to provide education, to provide resources and to provide funding, but ending stigma is a much more difficult thing. In 45 seconds, could you let us know how to do that? Thank you.

Thank you very much. I'll be quick in my question. I want to follow up on something you said, Mr. Hasan. You spoke in your opening remarks about children with all types of disabilities. Here we are talking about disabilities as if they're one thing, but there's so much difference depending on what the disability is, so I wonder if you could elaborate on that.

I saw a lot of nodding when you said that. Ms. Delorme, I wonder if you have anything to add, or if anybody else wants to add to that.

Might I also suggest that if everybody agrees by email on the draft, we can just issue it without having to come back to the meeting next week? Some hon. members: Agreed.
