Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The motion is in order. To the motion. Minister Abernethy.
Thank you, Madam Chair. This recommendation will be addressed in the amendments to the act. Drafting is underway and is expected to take about 12 months, with introduction of the amending bill in the spring of 2015. As outlined in the legislative proposal, the amendment will include enhancing services offered to youth, including youth protection orders, housing supports under support service agreements and defining youth under the act. It will also include extending support services to youth who are in permanent care until they reach the age of 23 and requiring the development of a written transition case plan for youth leaving permanent custody. We will consider the most appropriate performance measures and reporting mechanisms as we move forward and they will be discussed during the review of the bill. Thank you, Madam Chair.
