Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a number of things that the government does do to provide support to these youth. I’ve visited the NGOs that the Member referred to. The Department of Health and Social Services funds a lot of their funding.

I think it’s important to know that those older youth between 16 and 19, if they do work with social workers, they have the option of continuing on with the plan that they might have had in foster care. A lot of it involves independent living. They can choose a family that they would like to live with, especially if they want to continue to live with the family that they had before. They can also choose to speak with social workers about getting access to treatment.

As the Member knows, the government has made a number of steps over the last couple of years to expand our youth shelter programs outside of Yellowknife because…and we are providing youth cafes and all kinds of gathering opportunities in communities like Providence, Behchoko...I can’t remember all the names. I think we’ve announced that. We are expanding those programs.
