Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mahsi, colleagues. Mr. Speaker, this is a great achievement, but the students know they can't rest on their laurels. To make this important initiative sustainable and to meet the clear needs of the community, an estimated $124,800 is needed to cover annual operations costs.

This is where we come in. These young people have told us what they need in no uncertain terms. They want a safe, welcoming community space. They want to embrace traditional practices like Dene hand games, arts and crafts, and learning from elders. With the support of a few adult allies who have done the legwork, they have taken a leap of faith, and it is our job to catch them, as this government promised in its commitment to support effective youth programming, including youth centres.

I will have questions for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs later on today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
