Robert Hawkins

Yellowknife Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a written question for the Minister of Health and Social Services.

Would the Minister provide all the details and information garnered by way of consultation and research use to develop a policy specific for treatment offered to children with autism?

Would the Minister provide such policies developed and used by the Department of Health and Social Services specific to the treatment and care of children with autism?

Would the Minister provide all details specific to working arrangement and agreements with service organizations and other governments that we use to provide treatment and assistance to children and families, specific to autism?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
