Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island — Today, Premier-designate Dennis King announced key members of the senior staff that will serve in the Office of the Premier.

On behalf of myself, our candidates and our entire party we extend our deepest sympathies on the tragic loss of Josh Underhay and his son.

A New Dennis King Progressive Conservative Government Will:

• Put a new focus on strengthening programs that care for the physical, mental and emotional development of children during the critical first 1000 days of a child’s life. The First 1000 Days Initiative will promote action and investment to improve nutritional health, development and well-being of mothers and children. Providing this kind of care - nutritional, mental, social and cognitive development - has a ripple effect on the health and prosperity of our families and our Island communities.
  

A New Dennis King Progressive Conservative Government Will: 

• Implement an Island wide community-based preschool program for all four year olds. This program will help children improve language, social and thinking skills that helped them make a smoother transition to public kindergarten. This program will also benefit Island parents, allowing them to more time for self-care, undertake job seeking activities, take care of home responsibilities, and strengthen and improve family understanding and relationships.
