Masi, Mr. Chair. [Translation] Those of us in the smaller communities, I totally agree with what he is saying, it is very difficult to find jobs and employment, and it is because of that that puts people in a situation. We also talk about mental health and self-esteem. When people do not have a job, it interferes with the way they are thinking. They created these programs in the communities before, and money was flowing to the communities at that time. Maybe it is something, that kind of program, we should take a look at again, those of us in the smaller communities. [English translation not provided.]

[Translation] As I said just a little while ago, on the community employment, if we all work together on how we are going to make more employment in the communities, in our community, we have community friendship centres; we have to work with them in our community. Small community employments in the North are the ones that are helping the communities, to make them thrive again. There are also the security people that work at night. We have to work more for them, try out for them.

I know that Northwest Territories government and the Aboriginal government have to work with each other. I know that a lot of them have that issue in their communities. I know there are a lot of graduates, grade 12 graduates, even though they have graduated, they are still on the street. How can we help those kinds of young people? What type of work are they looking for? We have to think ahead for them. We have to tell them, "Try this, or try this." If we do not try anything different, it's always going to be the same, so I think we should all work together, sit and work together, to help resolve this issue. Where is the problem? Where is it that we need to help them with funding? What is the gender of people who have this problem? Small community employment is very important to the small communities in order to help themselves with this issue. Masi. [End of translation].
