Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with regard to the specific issue of youth at night, especially on the weekends, and being on the streets, we've been dealing with this under the issue of homelessness for the short term. We're working on a longer-term homelessness strategy as I'm also the Minister responsible for the homeless. I'm working in conjunction with my colleagues, Ministers from the social envelope, and we've put together a short term budget that is before this House now in a supplementary and we intend to come forward with further planning. In Yellowknife we want to continue to work with the coalition as well, and there is also access to federal dollars. So we're trying to come up with a way to deal with both the issue of absolute homelessness, who are those folks who have absolutely no place to stay, and the issue of relative homelessness, which are those who may be inadequately housed. Thank you.
