I want to get to the consequences of that. As politicians, we have been dealing with this issue for many years. Children and their parents have received a lot of promises.

The witnesses are the specialists and they mentioned some of this in their opening statement. I seek agreement that what I am saying is true in terms of the consequences of an inadequate service.
