 Thank you. Good morning. Good timing. I just walked into the room as you were introducing me, so I'm glad I did. Well, thank you very much and thank you for the honor of including me in your conference. And thank you for taking the time out of your busy professional lives to discuss such important topics as early childhood development and what it is that we can be doing and should be doing in Alberta Education to further enhance our children's abilities and an ability to learn not only in their early stages of their life but henceforth as we know that early childhood development and early childhood intervention does have impact on a child's lifelong learning and the child's abilities. And those of us, I'm preaching to the converted over here but we know that studies upon studies, Piaget and Montessori for those of you who still remember your education courses, will tell you and reinforce that the sooner we identify children with special needs, children with difficulties in acquiring information, the sooner we put in special programming in place, the better off the child will be for the duration of the child's learning life. And that is something that we are currently discussing quite intensively in Alberta Education. As you know, we have just ended a number of rounds of consultation which are now feeding into building our new legislation. The school act is being replaced this spring with a new legislation. And part of this consultation was the consideration of provision of kindergarten in the province of Alberta and then after that perhaps even early kindergarten for identified cohorts of children. So you will be hearing from me over the next few weeks making some announcements relevant to kindergarten and how kindergarten will be implemented in the province of Alberta. Should it be mandatory, should it be optional, should it be offered in all schools or not, should school boards will be making that decision and what programming will be put into kindergarten. But you are a very important component of this because we still need to do a great deal of educating of the general public on what it is that kindergarten actually does and why early intervention is so important. How kindergarten is different from daycare and how there is a more educational value in kindergarten and how early childhood intervention is not glorified daycare. As you know those misconceptions still exist and it is up to us in partnership to make sure that Albertans understand the importance of investment in early childhood development and the return that they receive on that particular investment. So I am glad that you are discussing these topics. We are leaders in education in the world and our reputation is well-renowned, relevant to innovative approaches to providing education. But in the area of early childhood intervention I think we still have plenty of work to do and any progress that will happen in that aspect of education will be coming from forums and conventions like this one. So on behalf of our premier Alison Redford who as you know is very passionate about early childhood education and all my colleagues at Legislature thank you for sharing your talents, thank you for sharing your time and I am looking forward to working with you in partnership and learning from you on the techniques and the possibilities that exist that we can implement into Alberta education. Because at the end of the day we have to focus on what is best for the child in the desk and we know that what is best for the child in the desk is to provide the child with any and all tools that the child needs in order to be able to have the sense of success in the classroom, not only at the time of early childhood intervention but later on throughout life. So again thank you very much, thank you for the honor of introducing me here and having me at your conference and I am looking forward to meeting some of you and have a great conference, thank you so much.
