If they don't want to go out on the land, ask them to go. If they're the problem, take them on the land with you. It's just too big of a problem to keep ignoring. Kids nowadays have a whole world of opportunity in front of them, a whole world. If they want to go to school, they can be anything they want and this government will support them. I've seen that firsthand. As long as you don't apply 24 hours too late.

Those out there that supply the alcohol and drugs to these young children, you've got to be ashamed of yourself. I'm real curious to know what the view from the bottom of the barrel is.

I was watching TV one time and I heard this elder, I think he was from Saskatchewan. He was singing a song. He had battled abuse his whole life, and alcohol. In his song he said he woke up one morning and he realized that his life had passed him by, and I think that's a sad statement. I don't want that to be the theme song for not only our youth, but some of the older people, too. They have to set good examples. So I urge all of you young children out there, and not so young people, to not let this be the story of your life. You won't regret it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
