In November 2007, Premier Dalton McGuinty asked Dr. Charles E. Pascal to recommend the best way to implement full-day learning for 4- and 5-year-olds. Dr. Pascal's report provides a comprehensive early learning plan for Ontario by recommending better use of resources to create a system of service for children and families from the prenatal period to age 12. He also makes recommendations for steps to take to put the plan into action.
