Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the issue of suicide as we all know is a tragic one. The reasons for suicide are multi-factorial. It is not just a simple, one answer or one solution to it. We felt as I had indicated after the major conference on suicide that was held in 1990, that the focus should be on having caregivers at the community level to try to work with individuals in the community to deal with this issue. That has been the focus since that time.

There has been a number of "train the trainer" workshops on suicide prevention workshops throughout the Northwest Territories. As we speak now, I understand there is one being held in Iqaluit that has been under way for a week and a half now, a three-week program that has drawn in people from across the territories on this particular issue. Over the past few years, there have been seven other conferences or training sessions held. As a result of that, there have been 123 people who have completed that training. There is a focus in trying to disseminate some of the delivery of caregiving for this issue to the community level, Mr. Speaker.
