On June 11, 1998, the House of Commons Standing Committee on
Human Resources Development and the Status of Persons with
Disabilities was used as a venue for a four hour Roundtable
on (Canadian National) Children Prenatal to 6 Years -
Readiness to Learn. The full transcript of that meeting is
at:

HRPDEV40-E.htm   (note that the URL is line-wrapped)

Liberal M.P. John Godfrey has a summary of the discussion on
his web site: http://www.johngodfrey.org/roundtable.htm

These discussions are likely to shape (or reflect) Federal
thinking with regard to the funding of services aimed at the
wellbeing of children in the prenatal to six age bracket,
and to shape the Federal position when negotiating with the
Provinces.

It would be useful for CLICK4HP if several of the CLICK4HP
subscribers dug into the discussion and captured the main
points and contested areas for the benefit of others on this
list, and for the benefit of the wellbeing of children
across Canada. Any takers?
