Mr. Speaker, the Government of the Northwest Territories understands the importance of early childhood development, and has been focused on developing and implementing programs and services for families with young children for the past few years.  Healthy development during the first few years of life is crucial for lifelong success.

Mr. Speaker, this government is committed to providing quality early childhood development programs that will help our children reach their full potential.  We want our youngest citizens to have the best opportunity to become healthy, educated, successful adults who are well prepared to embark on meaningful and rewarding careers.

Good morning.
