(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker and colleagues. (Translation ends) It explores the life of a troubled young teenage girl as she attempts to come to grips with suicide, alcoholism and drugs in the family, coping with her uncertain vision of the future in Nunavut. We have just finished performing the play in Arctic Bay. Again, thanks to a wellness grant, the Kicking Caribou Theatre Company has achieved a measure of success that is admirable and it speaks very highly of the skills and deep commitment of all the members of the company.
On Wednesday, February 26, at Inukshuk High School in Iqaluit, the Kicking Caribou Theatre Company will perform their play to an audience of teachers representing communities across the Baffin. It is hoped that the educators who will be at this play will take the experience back to their communities, redoubling their efforts to spread the message of suicide prevention. It is also hoped that the theatre company will be invited to tour communities in the spring as they were last year. Unfortunately, lack of funding prevented an extended tour beyond Igloolik. We foresee the same financial problem this year. However, we are determined to raise the money needed to visit troubled communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
