WHEREAS the Autism Management Advisory Team, made up of both government and stakeholder representatives, developed a report, dedicated to the memory of James
Delorey who touched all of our hearts last winter; and

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Nova Scotia Legislature thank the Autism Management Advisory Team for their tremendous work and commitment as we move forward on our commitments, as well as build on and integrate programs already in place.
