A general point is that we are talking a lot about parents but, unfortunately, not every student has both parents with them. Some children are in foster care and so on. Perhaps the language could be looked at as well. Those are my questions for the moment. Obviously, mental health is all around us and it is being spoken about more. Exams are still an issue, however. As a committee, we have looked at reform of the exams. We are just back from a trip to England to see how it works over there in terms of providing mental health supports to young people. What we need to do is to listen to young people, provide the services and care for them and look after them. I thank the witnesses for coming in. It has been an eye-opening and enjoyable session and it is good to meet young people where they are at.
