Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, down in Vancouver, a group of currently serving police officers, retired police officers, and community volunteers have come together to share their anti-drug message with young people. This group calls themselves the Odd Squad, and their stated mission is to design programs that honour and motivate youth, encourage them to set positive goals, lay their own path, and to stay on track by keeping drug-free for a long and healthy life. Parents and educators throughout British Columbia, not to mention the youth themselves, can attest to the value of the Odd Squad's work. Through public presentations and video documentaries, thousands of young people have been given a fresh perspective on the realities of drug use in our communities.

Here in the NWT, our own policies and programs recognize the same thing that the Odd Squad does, that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In fact, students in the NWT have already benefited from the Odd Squad's work. Volunteers travelled to the Sahtu region in 2014 to work with students and community members. Now, members of this organization would like to visit us again and are proposing to visit in the spring of this year.

As the fentanyl crisis begins to spread to the north, hitting our communities and residents, we are at a critical stage for prevention and anti-drug education. Work like this could add to the GNWT's current work and make all the difference for the next generation. The Odd Squad relies on donations to maintain its operation. Given the educational resources they can offer, I hope they'll be able to look to the GNWT for support for a visit to the NWT in the near future. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I'll have questions later today.
