Thank you, Mr. Chair. The child and youth care counsellors program is a joint initiative of Education, Culture and Employment and the Department of Health and Social Services. It's a four-year phased-in project. In the next fiscal year, the one that starts April 1st, these positions will be available in the South Slave. That's the last year of the four-year implementation in the South Slave, is the target there. That means that there will be counselling positions that are trained to a different standard than the current school counsellors, who will be available to help children and youth, whether they are in school or not in school, and they are available year-round. They're only tied to the school schedule. That is a program that we have on the go right now, and I'll just, through you, Mr. Chair, ask the deputy minister if he wants to add anything further to that. Thank you.
