Thank you, Madam Chair. Some of the things, I am going to try and be sensitive, but our youth are already looking on the outside looking in with what they have now. At least, this is going to give them, hopefully, some hope. We are working. We are not ignoring the children in JK to 12. We are working with them as well. A Pathways program is reaching out to children when they are in grade seven to try to give them options. The child and youth mental health workers going in four to nine to try to give supports for wellness. One other thing we haven't talked about is that in the last Assembly when I was the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, I also had concerns for our smallest communities. During my term, I made sure that our smallest communities, there should not be a school with only one teacher left in our NWT. During my term, I made sure that our smallest schools had at least two teachers in them to ensure that those children had the best chance possible at the time. Appreciate the comments. We cannot leave anyone behind is the goal. Thank you, Madam Chair.
