The member who just spoke I think did a fine presentation on the bill that’s before us today and outlined some of the very important and positive measures that are being taken in this area. I want to congratulate him for his comments.

I do have a question that I’m going to ask him about the obligation of early childhood educators to report if they have a reasonable suspicion of child neglect. I think that’s an important obligation. As I was saying earlier to another member, I think the obligation actually protects the professional, the early childhood educator, from having to decide one way or another whether they should. Because now that the obligation is placed on them, they have a certain protection under the law because now they are obliged to report. I just invite the member to offer his observations on that.
