Dr. Bolas instanced young males, but I am thinking of young females who are called "Nanny McPhee" at age 11 because of an abnormality. It is a label that will never be erased. It is something that requires earlier intervention. Whatever Dr. Bolas can do to encourage that earliest support saves a child or a young adult's life.

This has been a very interesting presentation, and I sincerely thank the witnesses for their work in preparing it. I commend the recommendations and ask that we forward them for the Minister's attention.
