Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I will try not to repeat myself from previous comments. The department is taking steps to develop an overarching communications plan for mental health and addictions in the Northwest Territories with an aim to increase awareness and reduce stigma, improve access to services across the continuum of care, and spread messages of hope and recovery. As part of this initiative, individuals who identify as having lived experiences will be included in the development of messaging, promotional materials, and the overall strategy. I think this is consistent with what the committee is asking. We are supportive of the recommendation. Given that it is a recommendation of government, we will be abstaining, but I have already made a commitment to move on these. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
