Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, I am very pleased to stand in front of you all to say that I support the motion based on the fact that there is a set of principles that are going to guide the direction as to where we go from here. As you know, I spent many years investing in young offenders who had been victims of family violence, crimes, and other injustices done throughout our territory.
First of all, Mr. Speaker, I think to defend my rationale and my philosophy, I still believe that economic development drives social and cultural development. Not in terms of how much money we make, but the type of investment that we have at the community level. I find quite often, and I speak to you passionately about this, that it takes a whole community to help the children grow out of situational problems which are varied and many. If we really look at the basic assessment of our life, I think we should really place much more emphasis on job worthiness.
People tend to feel good for themselves and I agree, yesterday hearing many of the questions this House raised about the renewable resource sector, because that is where the majority of our aboriginal people come from. The majority of the people who emigrated North, who developed their homes, their family is in the North, now are victims of this situation and the circumstances surrounding it.
I want our people to realize that it not only takes money, but also investment in terms of how we define the role of people in the community. I am really sad to say that if we dig deep into the statistical data, that many of us who have problems are those people who really had problems integrating to the community lifestyle.
I think we should really look back at where we come from, and we should revisit the methods of where we should begin to teach, not only in terms of the high tech and the things that we normally speak about our education system. We have a great and high failure. I want us to realize that and I am certainly in support of this motion. I wanted to explain that this is the philosophy that I carry and I hope that you share that with us. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
