Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, too, will support this motion moving forward. In my previous positions working with youth and working in various sectors of governments and community organizations, volunteer groups, concerned citizens at the table, interagency groups who have brought this as a concern for years, literally years we’ve been talking about this and to see a motion as such
brought before the House, to see some action that needs to be taken to address a situation that’s failing our society – not just our students, it’s failing society – I strongly support this motion and I do believe that we will garner a lot of support with this motion from residents across the Northwest Territories, professionals, business sector. We’ll get a lot of support from all avenues across the Northwest Territories. Like I said, it’s something that we’ve been discussing on numerous occasions at interagency groups, local community groups and I’m glad to see such a motion is brought forth.
I commend my colleague Mr. Hawkins for drafting a motion and bringing it before the House. So to see that some action is going to be taken, I strongly support the motion. Thank you.
