I want to congratulate the Assistant Minister for his presentation, which basically reduces the points I was going to raise. Since I have got the opportunity to speak, I just want to highlight two issues in support of this Motion. I agree with the Assistant Minister that this is a colossal job. We have about 3 million children missing out in early childhood education. I agree with him that foundation is very important."}
