Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to ask the Minister, during the October suicide prevention workshop, it's fine and dandy that we get a lot of keynote speakers there to make some presentations on suicide prevention especially amongst aboriginal youth, Mr. Speaker, but I want a commitment from this government that this government will support and provide these smaller communities not only with just community wellness dollars that will help these people find assistance directly in their own communities because a lot of youth don't want to deal with people in their own communities. A lot of these youth want to talk anonymously with a psychiatrist or a counsellor maybe from another community or from another region or just on a phone line. I want to ask the Minister if the department is looking at any kind of broadening of the program scope related to suicide prevention here in the NWT that would allow this non-amenity to be available to any youth that are contemplating suicide in any of our small centres, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
