Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We'd gladly work with the community of Behchoko to look at identifying the resources that that community needs. There is already some resources that we can, upfront, identify that has not been tapped into. There's a number of other program dollars that we have that are available for the community to apply for through the youth core for some youth at risk programs. We also have youth contributions. We also have a youth advisor. We have trapper training programs and this year we've launched a website that will be coming on stream this fall. That can be certainly a resource that can be used for referral. So, Mr. Speaker, we'll work with the community to identify the resources. We still continue to move forward in our discussions with the federal government to see what other commitments we can obtain from them to support youth centres. There are dollars currently in the federal budget for youth centres, but only through the National Association of Friendship Centres. So this causes concern in other communities that don't have a friendship centre. So we have to continue to do more work in that area. Thank you.
